the schedule is out on Diverace website.

Why are there dive operators offering such trips where you can harass marine animals? I cannot imagine any of the agencies condoning such business practices..

erm.. this would actually be a good time to go Sipadan.. less crowded due to the new advisory. :D

Try AirAsia. They're a budget airline, but not much difference (compared with MAS) for such a short flight. the KK-LL flight IS expensive. alternative's a boat ride, but it'll take too looooooooooong.

Going to the Spratlys would be so cool, especially if you know the history of the area, and the current international claims on the islands made by China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Japan, Malaysia, Brunei, and the Philippines. but i would still want to dive at LL at least once. comparing the same number...

just found this on the DiveRace website: "We are currently developing an Online Trip Booking System to allow you to easily check for availability and book trips online. Kindly check back soon to start using our booking system. Sorry for any inconvenience caused. Thank you." and there are...

Thanks for the info guys. i guess i'll keep clicking in to the existing WM website to check. If you're the new owner of DiveRace and you're reading this, please post up your LOB Apr-Sep 2010 schedule! :D

Hello all, Does anyone know when the operators of White Manta will post their schedule and pricing for 2010 dive to Tioman/Aur?

if everyone who dives there are considerate and takes care of the environment (or are made accountable if something is destroyed), there won't be a need for the 120 limit... i for one am disappointed i get to dive Sipadan only one out of the 3 days my gf and i were there. :( Unfortunately for...

lol.. maybe the viz. is better than Pulau Hantu. hahaha

The return flight from BKI to LLIR SGD $382 with all airport tax (Singaporean Rate*) USD $285 with all airport tax (International Rate) *Applicable for Singaporeans, Singapore PR, Holders of Singapore work permit. Otherwise, International Rate shall apply.

Does anyone know the DM to divers ratio, and how early is the first dive at LLIR?

can one dive at the underwater world sentosa??

Just read online a certain DC in Sabah has the following policy: "All divers must agree to the strict Environmental Conservation Programme set-up by the Dive Centre and are required to sign a Reef Conservation Policy prior to diving." Perhaps the DCs operating in Sipadan can be persuaded to...

there were 2 or 3 on each dive, not excessive. we were expecting 20 or more - if you believe some websites' descriptions. :blinking:

Nice to hear of DMs who make the effort to educate divers on such things. Ours did too, but it didn't help much though. i'm new to diving. 30 dives including the 13 i just did at Sipadan et. al. But hey, i didn't need DMs to tell me i should not step/lie on live corals, killing them in the...

you are right Hank49. i mentioned their nationality cos i kept thinking about how there won't be any sushi left if all the corals died... anywayz... Happy New Year to ALL divers! :dork:

my intention was not to stereotype anyone or any nationality here, but to express a sadness at witnessing such a fragile and beautiful environment treated in such a careless manner. we did not confront them on the boat (and only signaled them off the corals whenever we're near enuf underwater)...

Hello all, gf and i just came back from a 4d/3n stay at Kapalai (SKDR). the dives at Kapalai, Mabul, Sipadan, and especially Si Amil & Denawan were great! We had very friendly DMs - special thanks to Linda and Ralston, who took us to great sites and showed us many fantastic residents of the...

just received my light. it's brilliant! :eyebrow: did have a bit of trouble opening up the thing at first, but got it unstuck finally and the casing screwed out smoothly. i also removed the handle (which was easy), but that made it hard to open the casing as i couldn't get a grip on the smooth...
