Diving is a totally different world. Personally, the most fascinately dive was the one when i came across a calm more than 2m wide. i thought this only happen in mermaid or fairy tale till i saw it with my own eyes.

i might be wrong but most ppl in this part of the forum here should have already been certified as divers. i think u might have better luck in Chit chat forum or the kopi forum

Hi Cheryl,

Personally, it does not matter to me whether u learn from PADI or NAUI or BSAC etc.. at the end of the day, as long as u learn the basic skills, master it and be comfortable underwater. U would have achieve ur objective.. and the cardinal rule of all, Practice Safe Diving.

Afterall, at the trips, we dun care which school u learn from, as long as u have the necessary certification to dive, u can dive. Underwater, we dun segregate divers according to their schools.

Some divers i know, they learn from all schools available;

eg: Open water from Naui

Advanced from Padi

DM from SSI

Just rem, all schools will teach u all the basic skills u need, at the end of the day, it is the deliverer of the syllabus (i.e, the instructors) that u will learn from and all the other additional skills like how to finetune ur buoyancy etc and how he/she deliver the msg to u...

Also, price should not be the factor that u look for in a dive package.. consider other issues.. i think i posted some in another thread recently. Do consider them.. the most impt personally is not the frills they throw out but the student: instructor ratio... anything less than 1:4 is less attention spent on u..

Hi Kelstorm

By the way my fren's lesson will only start when there is at least 2 pple.. and max pple will be 4. Actually i already quite decided on joining my fren's one as the ratio is between the instructor and the number of pple is small.. Not only that each lesson theory and pool will be 4 hrs each. thus there will be comprehensive training...

But then the only problem is to find pple to start the course..

And of coz thanks for your info..

Regards

Cheryl

[hammerhd]
