Hey guys! So im a newbie, only got my OW last winter, planing on going diving some time this summer and have a couple of questionss I hope to get answered. I'm planing on traveling for about a month and in that time get my advanced and do an aditional 10 dives or so.
First, where should I go? After some research I found out that Southeast asia would be the cheapest and easiest to fly to from Sweden where im from. I'm thinking Bali/Sulawesi, maybe bouth? / Perhentian, malaysia. Borneo, SIpadan would be the dream but i'm afraid that the diving is more for experienced divers, what do you think? It all lean towards Perhentian cause of the newbie friendly and (remember where you heard this first) cheap, even cheaper than Koh tao from the websites that I have been looking at.
Moalboal, Philippines is where I got my OW and really liked it, have you been to these places and how do they compare? I'm sure Borneo is amazing and Bali,Sulawesi too, but what about Perhentian? I am a bit worried I will tire of the diving there and I would like to be able to see something bigger than your average coral fish. Maybe I could get my advanced and do like 5 more dives on Perhentian and then be ready to head over to Borneo?
In what order should I do my diveing? Should I start with the advanced course? Or do you maybe recommend me to do some refresher thing first?
I got a GoPro 3 silver that I want to bring with me underwater but i'm not sure if I am sertified to do so? My instructor in Moalboal said I was not. Will I be after the advanced course?
What are the absolute necessary accessories, mounts to be able to get a few okay shots? remote controll, red filter and a pole?
Hope you guys can give me some advice on a few things.
Thanks From JOnas.
