AL FATIHAH...



dis morning to my schock to see my PADI OW student certified diver in 2003 & AOW Certified Diver whom they dived with me @ Ocean Blue, Perhentian Island in 2003.

According to the news that Ive got that the bodies of two doctors went missing since Wednesday & found in a ravine near the Klang Gates in Ulu Ampang on Saturday.

Dr Haliza Mohd Shafiee, 53, and Dr Amin Tai Abdullah @ Tai Yen Ming, 57, were believed to have slipped and fallen into the ravine while jungle trekking at a popular spot in Bukit Tabuh near Taman Melawati, Ampang.

Their bodies were spotted by the pilots of a police helicopter at 2.15pm in a search operation launched in the area after a car belonging to one of the doctors was found near Bukit Melawati.

The pilots radioed the general location of the bodies. Police, using tracker dogs, found them later.

Dr Haliza's body was brought out of the ravine first at 3.30pm while Dr Amin's body was retrieved 15 minutes later. Both bodies were badly decomposed and were sent to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital for a post-mortem.

Dr Haliza, a paediatrician, and Dr Amin, a paediatric surgeon, both employed at the Ampang Puteri Medical Centre, had been reported missing by their families on Wednesday.

Closed-circuit television camera recordings showed that they left the medical centre at 11.30am on Wednesday in Dr Haliza's Nissan Latio.

Selangor police chief Datuk Khalid Abu Bakar said the Latio was found at 6am Friday. It is believed police had tracked the vehicle through its global positioning system device.

Khalid said a guard at the Klang Gates dam had reported seeing the duo trekking in the area, something they apparently did quite often. "They were reportedly close and both liked to go jungle trekking."

Ampang police chief Assistant Commissioner Abdul Jalil Hassan said the deaths of the two doctors had been classified as sudden death and police did not suspect any foul play.

The funeral was in Kiara & Bangi and to the family members, our condolences from the Management of Ocean Blue, Perhentian Island (now known as Royal Xtreme Divers)

Nichi Asu Maru / Kuantan Wreck

  The Kuantan Wreck's real name at the time of sinking was the Marvin 1.  It had just been bought shortly before it sunk and it is possible that they didn't even have time to repaint her as many years ago we were able to seem the name Nichi Asu Maru on her starboard side. Here is something I wrote up years ago although things do change over time and marine life die and migrate... The Nichi Asu Maru (にちやす丸) a.k.a. The Kuantan Wreck / Marvin 1 Nichi にち-  means several things and there is a logical progression of the meanings too.  First, it means “circle” or “round”.  It can also mean “sun” (that’s round, right?) or “day” because the day starts with the sun.  Usually though, on things such as ships, it is used as the abbreviation for “Nippon / Nihon”, i.e., the Japanese name for their own country.  The “Ni” character is also the first character in Nippon / Nihon.  Also note the Japanese flag features a rising sun.  So “nichi” on the ship quite possibly means “Japan

Flor do Mar ShipWreck and Lost Treasures

Historical background The Flor do Mar (Flower of the Sea) was a Portuguese ship of 400 tons, built in Lisbon in 1502. Her maiden voyage was under the command of Estavao de Gama (brother of Vasco de Gama). She was part of the second voyage to India by the Portuguese in 1505. On her return voyage, she was beached rounding the Cape and put into Mozambique for repairs.  Then, she was taken out of the Lisbon - Goa route and participated in the conquest of Ormuz in 1507. She was also part of the battle of Diu in 1509, the conquest of Goa in 1510 and the conquest of Malacca in 1511. She was finally lost in a violent storm off the northern tip of the coast of Sumatra on her return trip to Lisbon with Alfonso de Albuquerque on board and the spoils of Malacca.  One of the reports of her loss:  «…After the spoils, the Portuguese fleet set sail for Goa under the command of Alfonso de Albuquerque with 4 other ships and a junk. The weather was fine with a calm sea when suddenly; sailing
