IPOH, March 18 (Bernama) -- An army retiree, Mohd Nasir Mokhtar, 52, who is believed to have drowned while scuba diving with friends in Batu Hitam, Kepulauan Sembilan, Pangkor near here yesterday, has still not been found.
Pangkor Fire and Rescue Assistant Superintendent Arshad Abdullah said a search and rescue operation began at 8am this morning involving fire and rescue, marine police, Maritime Enforcement Agency and navy personnel.
"The search and rescue operation had to stop at 4pm when the weather was not good and the sea was rough. There are still no signs of the victim," he told Bernama.
He said the department received a report on the incident at about 11.50am yesterday, after the victim who was scuba-diving with a group of 13 divers, did not surface.
Meanwhile, a friend of the victim in his 50''s who declined to be identified, when contacted, said before the incident the victim had been told to change his floatation jacket which was leaking but he insisted it was a small leak and that he felt more comfortable with it.

18 March 2012 IPOH - Seorang pesara tentera Mohd Nasir Mokhtar, 52, yang lemas ketika melakukan aktiviti skuba bersama rakan-rakannya di Batu Hitam, Kepulauan Sembilan, Pangkor, dekat sini, masih belum ditemui. Penolong Penguatkuasa Bomba dan Penyelamat Pangkor, Arshad Abdullah berkata operasi mencari dan menyelamat yang bermula pukul 8 pagi tadi  dihentikan sementara pada pukul 4 petang kerana keadaan cuaca yang tidak baik dan laut bergelora. "Masih tiada lagi petanda awal yang membawa kepada penemuan mangsa," katanya ketika dihubungi Bernama. Beliau berkata pihaknya menerima laporan mengenai kejadian kira-kira pukul 11.50 pagi semalam, selepas mangsa didapati tidak timbul ketika melakukan aktiviti itu bersama satu kumpulan penyelam yang dianggotai l3 orang. Sementara itu, rakan mangsa berumur lingkungan 50-an yang enggan dikenali ketika dihubungi berkata mangsa sebelum ini pernah melakukan aktiviti tersebut bagi menghabiskan waktu lapangnya. "Saya dengan Mohd Nasir baru kenal, setahu saya dia (Mohd Nasir) dah lama lakukan aktiviti skuba...sebelum kami bertolak ke pulau itu tiba-tiba dia nak ikut sama menyelam," katanya. Beliau berkata sebelum kejadian berlaku mangsa diminta menukar jaket pengapungan kepada yang lain kerana jaket miliknya sendiri itu didapati bocor. "Sebelum kami selam memang jaket dia bocor, kami minta dia tukar jaket lain tapi dia tak mahu dan dia bagi tahu kami jaket dia bocor sedikit sahaja dan selesa pakai jaket itu," katanya.  Katanya, ketika aktiviti itu bermula Mohd Nasir berada jauh 15 meter dari anggota kumpulannya yang lain. "Bila masuk dalam air dia memang jauh dari kami. Tiba-tiba dia tenggelam timbul dan kami lihat dia semakin jauh dari kami. Kami cuba nak selamatkan tapi tak sempat sebab dia hanyut di bawa air laut," katanya. -Bernama

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 ...
