SCUBA lessons and ALL about SCUBA DIVING

[shio.cortes]

@ fratbaxxx > ang pagTRY sa sport of scuba diving (Discover Scuba Diving 3-4 hours session) is not that expensive as most people think..On the other hand, getting yourself CERTIFIED is a bit more expensive --> Open Water Diver Course is a 3 day training that are consists of Confined Water Training Dives, Classroom Sessions, and the Open Water Training Dives..

boss, nana koy open water lic. pero na wla.. unsa.on nko pag kuha balik? bayad nasad ko balik?

joneil > no need nga mubayad ka ug usab..if nadawat na nimo ang imoha permanent PLASTIC certification card unya nawala, all you have to do is contact your instructor unya pwede ra nimo hangyoun nga cya nalang ang mo-FACILITATE sa re-issuance of your open water license..REPLACEMENT card ra imoha kinahanglan..even if wala najud naka modive tungod kay wala nakay license, bisan asa sa kalibutan pwede rana macheck ang authenticity sa imoha open water license ON LINE..ang pinakaBEST nimo buhaton is to have yourself certified to the NEXT level which is the ADVANCED OPEN WATER dive training certification kay ang pagpare-issue sa imoha OPEN Water license magbayad man sad ka around 3-3,5k..Kung mugasto man lang gani ka, much better nga mag-UPGRADE nalang ka..

thanks

@ tenda > any brand will do..most common brands in the market today are LUXFER and CATALINA cylinders available at AQUAVENTURE WHITETIP, ASIADIVERS, and AQUAMUNDO..if ganahan ka 2nd hand tanks, u can drop by at SCUBAWORLD capitol at the back of CDU or visit their diveshop at Punta Enganio, Lapu-lapu City just beside Hilton Hotel..Be sure to pick the most recent "HYDROSTATICALLY TESTED" youd see recent marks on the tanks neck..One more thing, it is not that practical to purchase your own tank or cylinder not unless you will be diving more frequently on REMOTE dive sites other than the city area..Buying 1 will ADD up to your burden of carrying your gears everytime u wish to dive..Hope that helps..

UP for tonight!..

[tenda]

thanks for sharing shio. do you have any idea how much does it cost for a 80cu ft or 90 cu ft cylinder? i hope anybody here can share the price.

i would prefer brand new tank for peace of mind and for safety reason also. i don't mean 2nd hand are not safe but its my personal preference.

@ tenda > most common scuba tanks out in the market are 80 cu. tanks though there are some who sells 100 cu. by requests or orders..NEW tanks usually costs around 167-200 USD or around 7-8,5k in PHP..
The choice is yours to make brother..That's what matters most..Nice pick!..
