kelstorm, how i wish my tank was that big though... hehehehe

flubberina, will update u when is the dive trip... its gonna be in dayang instead of rawa.... anybody been in dayang?

[hammerhd]

basically it shared the same dive sites as aur bcos it is juz opposite it

nv been there as i heard the living conditions is

[reefer guy]

hmmm....... so u prefer tioman huh??? maybe we could ask for transfer hehehehe

[hammerhd]

nt i prefer tioman it is juz the journey.

to dayang u take the bus from singapore to mersing or tanjong leman. then u take a boat over to dayang by the time u reach dayang it will be like 3 or 4am.

to tioman u take the bus to mersing stay at a motel(timotel) overnite, next morning take speedboat(1hr to 2hr) reach tioman.

if it were u which one will u choose

[reefer guy]

yeah... quite true.... but actually got used to the trip there; been to permanggil a few times fishing n snorkelling n the local boat ride is really too much to bear; usually reach the island abt 4-6am... but anyway, its worth the trip.....

think any trip for me would be ok as long as its a fun and safe dive....

i'm terribly sorry we spoilt your CNY plans.. but if u guys haf been keeping track of the weather, the rain had been torrent from day all the way thru the night.. and conditions up at Rawa are not considered to be ideal dive conditions.. so to prevent disappointment and most importantly accidents, we got no choice but to cancel the trip...

but look on the bright side, dayang and tioman is reopening soon, mid feb and early march respectively...

i have been there. no doubt, the living conditions is not as good as Tioman but look at it from another pt of view, u dun really need fabulous living conditions right? just need a bed, with aircondition, able to shower... that is all coz half the time, u are out in sea diving... the best thing abt dayang is the food man.. it will feed u like a person who just come back from starvation camp... i prefer Dayang to Tioman anytime coz of this... furthermore, i think Tioman is slightly more expensive than Dayang...

actually, it all depends on the operator, whether u stay in the motel the nite before or not... actually, i would prefer to take the boat out and stay there for the nite coz i can go for early morning dive

[hammerhd]

overnite boat siong leh.

by the way tioman is about $27X.

whereas orpheus charge $255.20

(base on their name ur dives)

stay in dorm-1month b4 book-cash payment-new customer-no dm needed.

i rather choose tioman as i have a spot for the swim through site

[hammerhd]

bro cannot say best

u want cheap

or good instructors

or good deal

there is no such thing as best instructor in singapore

u must know wat u want 1st

[kopee]

ok... i know if the price is cheap then the content of the course also not so kilat.... So i would say is there any good but reasonable charged diving school around with experienced instructors...
