Your Preferred P.M'sia Dive Location when Season Opens Mar 2007

[scubaparents]

Dear Punggol Divers,
I would like to conduct a simple poll as to which of the 4 dive locations you prefer going should we arrange a dive trip come start of 2007 season sometime around March? This will help start off discussions as to which location we can check out for our inaugural dive trip by Punggolians! Each 'nick' has 2 votes, so use them wisely. Enjoy.

as much as i'd love to join you, i dun have a diving license 

is there any fastest way to get a diving license?

I made inquiry while in Tioman last year. They said about 1 week. Is that the fastest already? They said we can't dive just like that. The water pressure below sea level is very great. Some people will have blood come out from the nose. Is that true? This scare me....

Folks, pls don't add unnecessary stress to yourself, diving is safer than driving. I've been diving for 10 years (touch wood) & no problem, no bleeding. But you need time to learn and at a pace comfortable to you. If 1 week not enough, then take 1.5 weeks to finish the course. It comprises of classroom & open water sessions, so it'll be fun. Just relax. If you're planning on taking your course in March/April, I don't mind arranging some of our Punggolians to join you - we dive while you take the course, but maybe we stay for about 3-4 days while you stay for about 4-6 days? depending how fast u wanna go thru the course?
