Divebums has moved!

Hi All,

Divebums has moved to a new site - www.divebums.org. The site is still under construction and hopefully by the time it is up and running, we can actively contribute to the diving scene in Brunei. =)

Cleaning up the dust and spiders

It has been ages since we updated our dive village. And i believe most of you agree that our diving activities has been almost non-existent, due to everyone's busy schedule. Caryn and some other folks have picked up diving recently and we hope we can all try to maintain one of our favourite past time.

More to come!

Lee Ming.

Dive Bummies MOST used phrases - GUESS who they belong to

Have you ever sat back and listened carefully to the conversations going on during a dive outing? Its a laugh!!

Sharks Fin Soup anyone??

At the mention of Sharks Fin, banquet wedding dinners, chinese festival or big occasion family dinners comes to mind doesn't it? But the question is, Should we be eating sharks fin soup?

I don't know about you but I certainly don't think so! Diver or non-diver, the answer is NO.

Recently "someone" (no names mentioned but some of you can guess who) answered me with the following:-
** It was already cooked, if don't eat sayang oh...
** I didn't buy it
** How abou…
