Thanks.. but I would prefer cert from NAUI.

[searching4dan]

actualli there is no much differences between NAUI, PADI, SSI, BSAC etc.. myb in prices??

IMO, its juz different sch of taughts..

Btw u can dive anyway in the world with any one of these cards

u can be NAUI OWD then SSI AOWD

no problem man..

converting here and there shouldnt be a problem

[scuba_gal]

Anyone gonna take openwater course in september?

[somebody]

hi, sorry for hijacking but i'd just like to check.

i need to get the cert, fast and cheap. leaving for maldives on 8th. need the cert by then.

orpheus dive is offering pulau hantu(i don't really care) for $350. does anyone know of better deals?

[wolnad]

orpheus offering 350 at hantu ? hmm... seems pretty ex considering it's at hantu... was expecting cost to be approx. 280 plus minus a little

[searching4dan]

280 is ard that price for hantu..

and that is the fastest way to get ur OWD locally..

can get it within days.. depending on ur schedule..

maldives' a great place! too bad u might not be able to do night dive with OWD.. anyway, njoy ur dive bro..

[hammerhd]

aiya go there take adv loh

[searching4dan]

haha.. no comments..

but if u have spare cash to do so..

and wanna waste almost half the time doing course rather than leisure

u can take ur advance there..

for me i rather spend all the time doing leisure dives

from location to location..

cuz of the money spent! i rather not take course there..

up to individuals ..

[kelstorm]

agreed.. prefer to go for leisure than take course there.

[hammerhd]

waaa the guru finally back...

since he is going there and he want it quick and like worth his $$ do a adv there loh. Anyway adv also not much class 1 wat. somethinglike leisure dive too

rescue diver? anyone??

[cityofangels]

rescue diver? anyone??

I'm planning to take my rescue diver.. But I'm not quite sure when.. I got my first aid certification in June '05 and it's valid for 2 years. So I guess I have to take the rescue diver course before June '07.

[hammerhd]

actually the rescue diver course also include 1st aid medic

[cityofangels]

actually the rescue diver course also include 1st aid medic

That's what I thought... But according to the Orpheus website, they require a First-Aid Certification, with 2 years validation before you take up their Rescue Diver.

Taken from their website Orpheus Rescue Diver Course

Pre-requisite for Enrollment into PADI Rescue Diver Program

Successful completion of a sanctioned CPR program or Emergency First Response program within the past 24 months.

Is this requirement unique to Orpheus? Or is it a standard requirement?

[hammerhd]

alright now i understand, usually the course will come in 1 whole package, now the FAM is call the EFR. You can take the EFR together or just take a cpr course from St. john/Red cross. both also can be used

[cityofangels]

Yeah.. They have the EFR course before the Rescue Diver course. I got till June '07 to take my Rescue Diver before my First Aid/CPR certification expires.

[hammerhd]

but just to take note that more things are taught at the EFR course
