Read the papers recently a diver, with cert, makes his last dive 2 days ago..
Do take extra pre-caution.
Safety First.

I guess i can't dive, my science teacher said Oil is lighter than water. So I will float.
 
Re: Dive Trip, Pulau Aur, April 21st-23rd.

There is a nearer place to go diving than Aur/Tioman/Dayang.....

Don't you guys find the 8hr travelling a little too tiring?

Anyway, have been diving there since Dec 06... not bad.... got wrecks, big fish, good marine life.... viz is getting better.... in fact, going back there again this weekend.....

Anyone interested to try?

?

8 hrs to experience crystal clear water, more variety of marine life and a sunken world war 2 warplane in 1 of the dive site, worth it ..

I ever travelled 16hrs many years back in REDSEA just to see school of hammerheads sharks migrating.. almost 200s of them. Awesome sight.

We will. First, location is very important - places like Pulau Hantu has so poor visibility that do not bode well for beginners. Any mishaps will result in slow rescue & recovery as well. Second, dive operators must be credible and trustworthy. There are many dive enthusiasts out there, and many are part-timers. So you might come across many small fly-by-night operators which has many years of dive experience on individual basis, but has few organising and managing experience. This is important when it comes to training, briefing, and monitoring. So I only stick to the big guns, although I am aware of many new operators who claimed fame and glory.

Yes, still onz. Waiting for monsoon to be over......
 
Re: Dive Trip, Pulau Aur, April 21st-23rd.

Wah ... why u all want to go dive at Pulau Hantu....there the water really literally see F/O one. Better go Pulau Aur, can play play with dolphin also. Crystal clear water, like ah seng of ah seng aquarium say...got seabass, grouper, but no killer whale, SMLC also got....seafood dinner guaranteed.

of cos nowadays I retire liao!
 
Re: Dive Trip, Pulau Aur, April 21st-23rd.

I was worried that would be no interest....

But anyway, we found this new divesite in BATAM, yes, BATAM.... Diving is not too bad plus the transportation is under 4hrs, one way......Since Dec 06, I've been back there 6 times..... The place used to be run by an outfit called Dive Riau but that has closed down since.....

In Dec, viz was as good as Hantu but it has since cleared up....

Nice retreat to an almost back to nature surrounding.... don't expect 5 star accommdation though.... place is pitched as a Fisherman's Lodge.... pricing not too bad but the most attractive part is the travel time....

Dayang/Tioman/Aur is a b*tch to travel to and that's my only complaint..... but the diving there is pretty good.....

Just for your info, I am just another diver, not trying to 'promote' diving in Batam etc.....

sounds cool, count me in if your guys are organising another trip to batam.. I used to dive alot in singapore waters.. kind of use to the poor visibility of local waters.. anything within 8ft visibility i m happy liao.

Why dun u join in the Aur trip too, 8 hrs easy to pass, we can talk about diving experience for that 8 hrs cos i am sure we can talk for 3 days 3 nights..
