Hi fellow divers

Been quietly enjoying the board for a couple of days now, so decided to join in the fun.

I've been diving for more than a decade now and the only thing I've not experienced is Dry Suit and Ice Diving..! Let's just say I've not come across any good reasons to do that.

Cheers

Salty

Happy Diving,

Hi from Herts, England

I had a very enjoyable holiday in KL and then Penang back in 98. Would love to come back sometime and sample the underwater scenery, of course in a better local than Penang.

Hi Folks

Thanks for the Warm Welcome. Feeling very at home already.

Malaysia is located in the South East Asia Region (in between Thailand and Singapore). Part of the Borneo Island is Malaysia too.

Malaysia is a tropical country surrounded by the sea and offers a great deal of dives. Heard of Sipadan & Layang-Layang Island...? Well both are located in Malaysia.

Water is warm between the temp of 78oF and 84oF (26oC and 30oC). 3mm thick wetsuit will do just fine (sorry to rub it in) in these waters.


Cheers

Welcome from Southern California, Salty! I was an exchange student in Malaysia when I was in high school and have very fond memories of the people...and the foooood! Believe it or not, one can find frozen durian here if one knows where to look...it's not the same, of course, but it still smells in the freezer!!!!

Hi Kelpmermaid

Where about in Malaysia did you do the exchange program?

Well i am one of the minority who does not consume durians (not very Malaysian am I?).

How about the rest of you folks out there.....tried durian? Durian and diving surely does not mix.
