MIDE - A Success

Hi Buddies,

Wah Lao! MIDE is really another diving success event for Malaysia. Buddy Hui, Buddy Yong and me were there the first day they kicked off at around 5:30Pm (just after Buddy Marcus and Buddy Alvin left la... no fun missing you guys) and just imagine that crowd was fantastic! We started to stroll around at the PADI booth then moved on to some diving packages booths. They had been promoting hard on many locations and I found a few good spots myself. Pulau Tenggol was one of the nearest to us at the east coast with around 20 dive sites.... which are all fantastic! Of course, we can't miss the very special Borneo dive sites that includes of Sipadan, Mabul, Layang-Layang, etc.

Then we checked out some cool gadgets from Beuchat, Tusa, and of course, Buddy Marcus's favourites - Marez booths. There have been plenty of BCDs, 1st stage, 2d stage, thus wet suits as well.... Finally, me and my Buddies decided to invest into our own wet suits since as you know my huge giant size XXL is hard to find.... so we keep surveying around.... (which pissed off some of the shopkeepers though :p) Suddenly, we caught a crowd in one of the booth bargaining and checking out a lot of goodies.. So we stopped by and SHIT! Its really good bargains over there.... We got our wet suits , masks from them - and I even almost grabbed my boots and fins too.... but hold the horses reminding myself that I really want to go for another dive.... so gotta save some "bullets".... Scubatex - Thanks for everything....

After the expo ended (almost 7:30PM), then we went out as what we originally "planned" (Hey! Where are you guys liao??) - we went for some drinks and already started to plan for the next dive trip..... HeHe! Don't miss this - if you really like the ocean.... come on! Let's Gear Up and Dive, buddies!
