Scuba Diving at Batu Batu, Pulau Tengah
Another long weekend, another chance to go scuba diving. This time we headed to Pulau Tengah, home to the fabulous Batu Batu resort. The diving was some of the best that the south of peninsula Malaysia has to offer with healthy corals and some great macro subjects.
Pulau Redang - Long weekend scuba diving escape

Whilst we can now travel interstate within Malaysia we can’t travel outside of the country, to some this might seem to be a problem, but for diving enthusiasts in the country this means that we can enjoy the best that Malaysia has to offer without all the crowds. We headed to Sabah for a return to Pulau Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai

Dive Essentials - Dive Computers
A few years back dive computers used to be seen as a bit of a luxury item, these days however there are models to suit almost all budgets and most regular divers will have their own. So, the question is, what makes a good dive computer and how much should I spend on one? We aim to answer some of those questions and provide a little bit of guidance at the same time.
