muahaha.. efficient people..
very fast got hold of all the photos..
starting from our pool dive.
its a pre-dive training taken in some pool.
getting use to the water
felicia in action...
nicholas and me. note that yellow regulator nicholas is using! coz he is experienced diver so he went there to assist in the teaching.. then they were not given oxygen tank. so he went down stealing our oxygen through that yellow regulator. then the instructors were complaining why our oxygen deplete that fast.
5th June 2009 - departure date!
its basically a live on board trip
at the sunny deck.. leaving sg.
room allocation! felicia and room.. it is really very small..
ben and kenneth room.
its only one body length. the photo is taken standing at the door
nicholas and kenneth room. they got themselves a honeymoon room.. muahaha.. couple bed.. imagine 2 big size man squeezing on a super small bed.
exploring ard.. this is the middle deck also known as our mting place.
our equipment room and also the place we deploy into the sea...
the clearance took super long.. they are damn slow.. we reach the "line" that seperate sg and malaysia sea water then anchor down. 2 green lights up. then the coast guard will take their time to travel here, come up the boat, check passport and leave.
took more than an hour!
ok.. that ends that night.. the journey will takes up 10 hours so yea..slp through 10 hours ba!
nxt morning 5.30am, rise and shine! we reached.. before the sun rise...
sun rising... nice scenary.. =))
our morning photo..
not long later, start to hear shouts..
group one suits up! ready!
rushes down.. everyone start to dress up! rushing ard, mask... flipper.... weights... oxygen tank.... this and that... so unprepared...
then finally..
ready to deploy~
after the first dive.. only we got the mood to camwhore.. the other 2 seasick le.. haha... poor them..
so the rest of the day continues... dive, debrief, eat, rest(30 min), dive, debrief, eat, rest.... repeating itself...
after a while we got bored.. and decided to challenge each other.. went to the top of the yatch and jump down...
consider the height would be ard 3 storey high.. including the depth u will go, under water.. the feeling is quite scary.. but very nice..
.
sunday morning...
dive 2 more times and off we go to sg..
deepest dive is ard 22m... its gets cold down there.. heex..
the 1st dive that morning was kinda of scary.. coz my equipments give me some problem under water.. coz at the sea surface, we were suppose to inflat this bag at the back to keep ourselves afloat. but once down deep in the sea.. we must deflat.. if not we will keep floating up.. and floating up too fast is very dangerous.. due to the pressure.. then deep under sea, i wasnt able to deflat it.. so i kept rising up.. then i kept hard to swim down.. but after a while i will go up again.. then once i was quite high up.. then i saw my bro pointing up and my instructor keep giving that hand signal to quickly swim down.. so i looked at and to my horror, i was directly under or yatch. a little higher and i will knock in the yatch.. struggle down and instructor swim up to help me get the air out...
got a fright...
then after 12 hours of slping on board.. we reached back sg.. my poor deardear waited for me for 4 hours at the jetty... due to the delay in the sail.. sorry dear! =))
missing you...
