I am from Subang Jaya,Selangor. I have heard a lot of stories about diving eg. how beautiful the corals are and the colourful fishes. How I wish I could also go diving one day but one problem , I don't even know how to swim. Actually I had plans to take up swimming but have yet to do so.
Hope to hear from you soon. Bye

Ahahahaha!!! I didn't know how to swim when I took up diving! Didn't even know how to tread water!!!

You don't actually have to know how to swim to dive. It is actually very difficult for you to sink. So much so, that you have to actually wear a belt with weights around your waist to sink. When you're out of the water (afloat in the sea), you don't have to worry about sinking. All you need to do is inflate your Buoyancy Control vest and you'll stay afloat!

Most important about diving is...always follow the rules!!! Never dive without a buddy and get a qualified instructor!!!

As for sharks, consider yourslef lucky if you see them! Do you know how graceful a turtle looks when it swims in the deep blue sea?

If you plan to dive, please do so soon as the water is getting more polluted, the visibility is getting poorer and the corals are starting to die....more so in Redang.

PS. If you can afford it, get a can of Spare Air (back up air) as part of your gear.

Errmm...another thing...diving is a costly sport...but then that's no excuse to not see the other part of the world in its full glory!!!

but did swim a little... very bad swimmer then, can't even last half a lap in a 50 meter pool. Sorry...it was so long ago when I got my license...about 12 years ago!!!

Anyway...it's not the swimming skills...it's more of maintaining your cool and learning to swim underwater across the pool in one breadth. It's a question of maintaning your composure and controlling your breathing. If I could do it, so could you...
