Kallang river just rent a tank...

But seriously FW runs local trips when their boat is back check with them,

[hondaker]

kallang river can dive? i didnt know . how much will it be for diving at Kallang ? haha .. i will really like to dive there man. nahz ..i own no equipments. they are way too ex .

[hammerhd]

there is always the danger of gettin hit by a passing boat.

Equipment can slowly save up and buy. Im also in the process of getting back my gears

[rogerboi]

hmmx .. if anyone of u dive in kallang be4 or or know ehere to register . let me know pls. and it take years to save up the money to buy gear la . haha... 1 BCD can cause a hefty sum of $2000. guess the most affordable one is still Mask and Fins. I would really like to dive at the Kallang river.

2k bcd??

where got so ex?

unless u going to buy those super branded ones la

u can walk around concourse, there are 3 dive shops there, usually selling bcd+regulator as a combo

i got mine for under 1k(bcd+reg) and the bcd is the wing type, not the jacket, i believe the jacket bcd can go as low as 600+ for bcd+reg

hope it helps

[hammerhd]

unless u buy those intergrated BC it cant be 2k.

Even OMS is only 1k+.

Slowly save up and buy ur gears if u dive often. At least it is cleaner and safer.

[hondaker]

hammer using OMS?

[kelstorm]

2k bcd??

where got so ex?

maybe 3-8th hand rebreather system??

otherwise, i cant see how a BC can cost so ex..

[rogerboi]

hmm.. i not very sure either .. but thats wat i heard .. impossible to get 1 at my age now la .. haha

[hondaker]

how old are you?

haha, just start out slow

i only have my basic set for a year before i decide to take the plunge and get the bcd

more importantly, make sure you are really into diving before buying

[hammerhd]

no lah oms ex. I using halcyon. hahaha one more item to get and im back in full gear

Roger slowly really slowly save up. I started diving when i was in the army and that time army pay is bloody low loh ard $250 per month. I slowly save up and buy 1 piece by 1 piece

[rogerboi]

haha ... i got my license at 16 . then i now is 18. so long since is my last dive la . pulau tioman is the dive site i went be4 . nice . good visibility.

[hondaker]

halcyon?

nice choice of bcd

if i am more into diving, would consider that as well, but guess oceanic does it for me

any lobang where there sells cheaper dive equipment?

[hammerhd]

what brand u looking for??

Now is the time to look for cheap things as there are sales now.

I recently know there is a guy who bring in oxycheq BC

[hondaker]

not particularly any brand, hoping for a shop that sells cheap accessories, so can walk in and look around

[hammerhd]

what u looking for???

[hondaker]

errr, thought i've said accessories?

already got most of the equipments already, so now is to find the smaller stuff, for eg, dive pointer, banger,etc
