Really enjoyed them... till i came home. hahaha
washing is a hassle, drying too... good thing didn't have to work today. :)
Any more tips on washing, cleaning and etc?
especially for BC and Regs...
side note, backplate really does push you forward a bit but seriously nothing to stop you from leaning back fully and resting on it... i pretty much enjoyed the surface time when i could lie on my backplate fully. :D shiok!!

One thing that cuts into the cost is equipment rental. I just need BCG + reg set, but thats approx SGD20 per day (assuming its 2 ppl 3D weekend = SGD120 per trip). Is there any place to rent cheaper in Singapore? Or better to go to Tioman and rent?
Rgds,

If both of you intend to dive once per mth.. better go buy your gear. It's not just more cost effective, but you have personal gear that you take care yourself (reliability and safety) and diving same gear will help with your skills development too. :)
