Wreck Specialty
Voila….
Went for another diving trip again last weekend and this time we did our wreck specialty. What do I have to say? All wet fine FUN! Diving is seriously addictive and this is a diving year for me, I have been having one trip every month for the past 3 months and do hope that I can keep this record until the season closes. So diving buddies reading this, do keep me informed on any of your upcoming dive trips. I would love to tag along.
In fact the trip last weekend was planned well in advance. We booked our flight tickets early January this year, and had only decided to take up wreck specialty months later. I still have not found the time to complete my dive log yet with unfilled RDP records.
The interesting thing about this trip is that I got lost while visiting one of the best dive sites in Perhentian. Myself, Eddie and Joshua was too ignorant to listen to our instructor’s advise and bang!!! We missed Fish Heaven. However, thanked God that He did not call us back to his Heaven either * wink wink* The feeling of being separated from the group was freaky especially when we are not well verse with the dive site. Lost in the open water, what an experience. That was also the time, we felt that we really need to stay together, the other feeling that I very much treasure, we know we can’t afford to lose one another and we ascended holding onto each other. It was another form of bonding and that is why my best buddies are my diving buddies. Love them lots!!! But as usual, Yvonne loves to make fun out of any situation and I got my 2 buddies to take ‘lost’ pictures.

5 of us at the Kota Bharu airport waiting for our 9.40pm flight home. It's a new airport and I'm really impressed with the condition of it.

You LOST ! Good thing is you lost together with your buddies and all 3 of you didn't get panic and still alive. Picture shows you rested on the seabed/
What if .........
- bottom of the seabed beyond 50 meters?
- one of you panic and ascend too fast?
- three of you ascend, drifted and boatman can't find you? Any of you have buoy marker?
- one or all of you didn't do safety stop?
I witnessed diving fatality and you're lucky for still having this chance to blog it out. DIVE SAFE.
Instructor
Ermm... Instructor dearly,
We descended looking at our depth gauge to make sure than we do not go deeper than 30m, we held on to each other while ascending and make sure that we ascend slower than our bubles.
For the third point, we were lucky as we appeared quite close to the boat and yes, we missed the safety as we are afraid that the current could drift us further.
Well, Richard, you have trained us up very well, that we are able to remain calm even when we are lost. Such a dedicated instructor ;)
So fellow readers, if you are interested to take up scuba diving, you know who to look for ya
