I choose to promote scuba diving based on my experience on diving and discovering underwater world.One word to describe the beauty of underwater world,MAGNIFICENT!.For you out there who feel depressed,want to release all the pressure and tension,diving can cure all those problem.

Diving is actually a hobby and everyone can go for dive.For those who interested in diving,there are few regulations that you need to fulfill before you go diving.Diver Alert Network (DAN) regulation state that minimum age for diving is 9 years old.To become a diver,there`s a few things that you need to follow such as,

-Diving Licensed
-Wet Suit and Scuba Equipment
-Some guts



Diving Licensed ( for leisure dive,you need to have Open Water Diver licensed at least)


PADI Open Water Certificate

With a certified licensed,you`re qualified to dive.To be a qualified diver,you need to take the PADI Open Water Diver Courses,which cost you around RM 900(PADI is the well known certified body for diving license and recognized all over the world) .There are many level of certificate,but the most basics is the Open Water Certificate and with this certificate it allows you to go on a leisure dive.( maximum depth for Open Water Certificate is 18M )


The Open Water Diver Course content :

* 4 open water dives


The price include :

* PADI Open Water Diver Manual
* Recreational Dive Planner
* PADI Certification Card

PADI courses


Wet Suit and Scuba Equipment

Scuba equipment

Scuba Equipment such as mask,fins and booties,regulator,BCD (Bouyancy Control Device),and tank is provided when you are student diver until you finished your courses.After you`re been certified as diver,you need to have all these equipment by yourself( if you can afford to buy all of these equipment in the same time,dive shop provide a rent for this equipment.But it`s better and recommended for you to have your own scuba equipment)


Some guts ( just a little is enough )

Actually it`s the way how you tackle your fear underwater.We stereotype underwater as a dangerous places such as man eating sharks,harmful creature,and many other bad things.But in fact,we are more dangerous to them.We pollute the sea by drain the industrial waste to the sea killing the coral and the creature,hunting sharks for the fins,and for your information,more than 1000 sharks had been killed last year for the need of human appetite(Shark Fin Soup).So,who is more dangerous and harmful?think again.

For you out there who is environment lovers,diving is the way of you to see the magnificent underwater world that created by god and i guaranteed that you`ll never regret it once you go down there.It will teach you to value the nature and in the same time to keep it natural.

Deep in the water,diver communicate using sign language and that sign is really important because it indicates all the orders,express how you feel,and even if you have trouble.So to being able to communicate with others and divemaster,learning diver sign language is compulsory.

But to be honest,this activities quite hazardous and a safety is the most important things to be taken care of.For those who is not disciplined and not taking care of safety would be in a deep trouble such as narcosis (been black-out underwater,fainted),and even worse DCS (Decompression sickness)that can cause of death.That`s why observation is important during the course because it will tell you how to overcome it if you face that particular situation.So what`re you waiting for,le ts join the divers community.Let us discover the underwater world together.

You have a LIFE.... because you walk.... you eat... you go to bed....
I have a life... because I walk.... I swim... I go underwater.... I dive... yes... I dive....


For more information dont hesitate to give me a call,and if you`re out of credit,just sms me,i`ll ring you.May God bless us!! Assalamualaikum.
