Scuba Divers in the club

[loafer]

Where? Have fun and stay safe bro...

Have not dived for 15 years now!!! Last dive was at Lang Tengah off Terengganu

Having it done in Redang. My whole group of friends are mostly divers, some have been diving for well over 10 years now. I was the last few who hasn't succumbed to the "peer" pressure yet although I've always wanted to get my license done. Timing just never seemed to be right back then.

Relax & have fun!!!

Thanks! Really nice pictures by the way.

this looks like the 6 series ...

now that you mentioned...possibly the designers took this as their inspiration!

Andrew, I am sure it was awesome to see those mantas 'fly & glide' in the water!!!

yup, nothing better than to see them in their natural habitat. the feeling is speechless...awesomeness is not even close to describe the experience.

yes, there were other divers approx a dozen of them then.

Just some of the pictures I managed to take. Still damn newb with my buoyancy control trying to control my breathing so half the time I was stretching my arms outwards to keep my camera still cause I'm floating up and down hahaha.

Going to Komodo in 2 weeks time!!! Can't wait!

Thanks! My friends were there last year and I saw some of the pictures they took. It's just simply amazing. Probably can't get as amazing pictures as I don't have a strobe at the moment but I'll try my best!

This thread brings back sweet memories of my diving days.Nothing compares when you were down there.Once i was swept off Mersing alone to the open sea and i thought at that moment,if i were to go i was worth it doing things i loved..

Oh yes,we used to go live on board say for a week to those places around south china sea whereby no right minded dive guide will lead because the place are not perceived to be safe.Our group went on on our own.Once we dived into an underwater current near pulau pemanggil that carried us thru fan corals as big as a banana tree concentrated over a vast area with a school of baracuddas on top of us.We also visited a sank ww2 Japanese gunboat near a place called karang luas,only as big as football field with 70ft of water in a middle of a deep blue sea only can be located by gps.my last dive was six years ago.I stopped because i lost contact with my dive kakis.Actually,it was not scary at all,i was very calmed inspite of late evening strong 10ft waves and dark windy sea.Once you accept your fate,you can be very peaceful even in seemingly dangerous situation.

Simple stuff only bro. G11 with single strobe. Strobe also my friend's old one which he doesn't use anymore. So tempted to get dual Inon strobes now!

Heading to MIDE in a bit. Is anyone going this weekend?

Yeah viz was superb! But that usually means no plankton around hence no manta

 

[BlackCat]

Super shots there Loafer! Love those close-ups.

Miss my diving seeing all these shots...
