Yep, I've been a scuba diving instructor for a decade, started out in Malaysia a long, long ago. Been diving everywhere, and had a dive club in KL 10 years ago. Now I have a dive club in Beijing.

There are dive trips at least once a month, normally an extended weekend. Next one is to Redang from the 18th, 3n/4d incl. room, food, and 7 dives for 800RM.

Though I'm not associated with any particular dive school in KL, don't worry - I have certified over 1,500 students now, and I hold a Master Instructor status, which is a 4th level of instructorship (there are 5 levels).

Any questions about diving, just ask!

I just found a very good website for diving and scuba diving
http://www.recntec.com/

They can provide courses in English (of course, Swedish, French and others)
Very good quality equipment in their show room.

Hope that will help some Smile

You guys have any tip on the packages available in Sipadan?
As it seems like they have restricted the access a few months ago because of an overweight on the islands.
Would like to make a booking for beginning of April.
Thanks

Yep, the island closed as of Jan. 1st this year. Since February, you can actually land on Sipadan but noone is allowed to stay over-night. Best bet is to stay in Mabul where you can run day-trips easily to Sipadan.

E-mail me if you need any more info. zeus@urbandivers.com

I have also received your PM and will give you a buzz to get more details.

A bunch of us had recently dived Sipadan. It is fabulous! We were guided by a very professional Course Director while he was having courses.

I recommend you guys to check out his website at http://www.idc-pro-malaysia.com

Have Fun!! Very Happy
