youngpunk Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 PADI,SSI, SDI...different different but same. And there are really quite a few dive shops to choose from...ekodivers.com, gilldivers.com, bigbubble.com, bluereefscuba.net, etc...just google a bit, any of the bigger names should be fairly reliable, assuming cost is not an issue. Then just visit their FBs to see their clients' feedback. And do select one that offers you a good dive site. If it's conducted in Singapore, forget it. It will not make you fall in love with the sea. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enelym1978 Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 I'll be diving in Saipan mid May 2019 with some HKG friends. It's not your typical dive spot but they wanted to go there because there are direct budget flights from HKG. I'd rather go all the way to Palau again Anyone went to Saipan diving already?

Higher concentration of oxygen and last around 10 minutes longer depend on individual and usage . Depend on you want it or not. But when I paid for that course its basically like giving money to the company instructor because its just (paste my first three sentence here) Ps . Dive expo free tickets can be purchased already. You can purchase all 4 days tickets too. Also.

So when you're on LOBs doing 4 dives a day it helps. It's a combo of advantages if you dive a lot. Most dive shops I went with gave free Nitrox so I don't see it as an extra charge. The course of course is just theory for two evenings and the test and does feel like a joke but isn't PADI about making more money out of us?
