Rouhamm, there are several interesting dive sites in Tioman. Generally they are nice to dive, especially for weekend divers from Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Many divers prefer other islands that are (quite) nearby to Tioman like Aur, Dayang (on the southern part) and Tenggol and Bidong (on the...

there are several interesting destinations (out of many islands surrounding the country). but which type of diving that you'd like to experience, and at what budget? The ones in Borneo are more expensive because their remote locations from the mainland, while the islands nearby are more...

I'm a frequent diver to Perhentian islands, and I live in KL. Sometimes I drove my car via the Gua Musang road but lately, there's a new bus service from KL that goes straight to Kuala Besut jetty (no more taxi from Kota Bharu). Now I take bus from Hentian Putra bus station, very comfortable...

I can be pretty fast and steady during current, but always descend and ascend slowly. Never forget the safety stops and use the SMB in every dives :-)

ahh... now I get it, thanks! the article you pointed, is very interesting & informative.

I guess it really depends on the situation, most of the time I use the (modified) frog kick because it gives me the comfort of gliding over slowly, while using the normal flutter kick while tending the mild current and glide over the reef. But there are times when frog kick would potentially...

The thing that surprised me most about diving is, the Titan triggerfishes are more likely to attack me than the reef sharks. ... and if the anemone clown fish are any bigger like the triggerfish's size and have sharp teeth, coral reefs are probably non-diveable :-)

Welcome to ScubaBoard! p/s : pardon my ignorance, what is HOG?

Thanks for the replies, good to know that. About my 2nd stage, like oxyhacker said - the design is a bit on the basic side. the reg would adjust it automatically, I know Mares designed it that way; that's what the DFC are for. But I'm a bit uncomfortable not having the manual override control...

thanks Matt and Scott... spent some time going through the features and discussion threads, beginning to feel that this is the place that I'll be hanging out (virtually) more often.

beautiful! nice composition.

this shot is excellent !

nice composition, great detail.

Hi, I'm using Mares MR-12 1st stage and Axis Pro as the 2nd stage. Lately I saw a very nice Atomic 2nd stage selling for quite a lower price than its usually do. Before I spend my money on it, I'm wondering if it'd work nicely with my Mares 1st stage. Mares is using the DFC (Diaphragm Flow...

Hi, Just registered to ScubaBoard a few minutes ago. As recommended, here's my introduction. I started scuba diving in June 2003, fell in love with the underwater world and has since been frequently returning to the islands. Last year, I went diving almost every alternate weekends (the sea...
