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 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.
