A few days ago I sent out a mini survey, a very simple straightforward survey, to 10 of my selected facebook friends and family members only. That was my first ever survey using facebook as the media. Just be cool if you (my friends & family) didn’t get the survey invite. Rest assured: there are going to be more future surveys, simple ones, just like this one, I’ll extend the invitations. One will be for you.

If you are reading this and YOU are not in my facebook friend list, then if YOU wish, you can add me as your friend on facebook.

The survey is

There are thousands of weblog (blog) entering the World Wide Web every day. People blog about anything and everything – about a particular product, services, hobbies, sports, events, animals, cars, ideas and so many more.

You, too, can start your own weblog. Choose a niche of a particular topic and write articles related to that niche and post them on the Internet. Thanks to the evolutions of digital media, the Internet, because now even a real newbie or a “not so computer literate” person can start a blog and share ideas with the rest of the world. Easily.

Blogging is not as complicated as you think it is. Of course there are certain things you need to learn before you can really blog away. There are 2 most important ingredients that you need to have prior to starting any blog.

1) You need a BLOG HOSTING provider

In this Part-2 of “The Non-Divers’ Curiosities”, we will look at another three of scuba diving most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) that we’ve gathered through the years and years of active participations in scuba diving.

Most non-divers, innocently, ask all sorts of questions. Most certified and experienced divers find the FAQs so funny that they burst out laughing first – because they thought it’s a joke – before seriously responding to each FAQs.

That might be the case, but of course not entirely, and if any of these questions have been playing in your mind now then I would like to welcome you to this 2nd series of articles where we’ll be focusing on this particular topic.

You might want to quickly skim through Part-I to see what we’ve covered earlier.

1) Can you catch any of those yummy lobsters or other fish? For food?

The answer for this one

Non-divers tend to have different ideas, theories and perceptions about scuba diving. I call them The Non-Divers’ Curiosities – there are hundreds of them.

There are loads of questions that we, as certified divers, get to hear time and time again. These Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) though simple, once learnt, require one’s knowledge and experience to present the answers and explanations in a “lay man term” as opposed to the “language of diving” used by divers. Meaning: we have to deliver the answers and explanations in a way accepted and understood by the non-divers.

This series of articles will look at the most FAQs by the non-divers for example from our own family members, relatives and friends. And even total strangers that we meet at the airport, bars, subways, and bus stations, at seminars, office, coffee shops, on the beach and

Divers and wastes… the litter factor?

Something caught my attention during my most recent trip to one of the shopping mall here in my hometown. I think this one is worth sharing and I hope to give you guys something to think about and may be to take action about it too.

What happened was, I bought a small bottle of drinking water to go with my lunch and carried around the half-empty bottle with me after that while doing some shopping. I finished the content of the bottle after a few minutes. My instinct told me to get that bottle refilled instead of buying a new one. I asked around and was lucky to find a refill shop. It cost me 30 cents for the refill. That’s 5 times cheaper than to buy a new bottle. That was against a single-use water

(2005) I was on top a Whale Shark at Cement Wreck, Labuan, Sabah.

Diving and blogging: such a great combinations.

When I first heard – that’s the right term: heard – about blogging, I didn’t even think of getting involved in the world of blogging. Not even a slight thought of getting myself into it. Well of course I was zero knowledge about blogosphere by then. That was about 3 to 4 years back.

A long long time ago … No, no, no. Cut! Cut! Start again!!!

One day (ok… go on) while browsing through my facebook, I stumbled upon this guy talking about his full time job as a blogger. I told myself: is this the same blogging thingy that I have been trying to avoid all this time?
