I'm only thinking of a snorkelling trip to Redang after the moonsoon season, so for me, no need to take course.

For SCUBA diving, you need the oxygen tank. You dive deeper and longer. You need to attend a course for this.

Snorkelling is at surface of water. You dive for as long as you can hold your breadth if you want to go underwater.

any specific recommendations? you dive before yourself? where did you go for your open water diver course?

Used to go to Tioman for snorkelling. I think Redang or Pehentian would be better spots now. I'm also thinking of Pulau Sibu as a quick getaway spot.

I didn't take any course as I'm not doing SCUBA.
