citer pasal dive ... adOyai

EarLy this morning had a heatY conversation with a diver, commenting about how few dive shops been managed over the years or newbies. Find it very amusing and the comment was :

Rasa memang dive shop makin teruk kalau buat tak peduli and so jangan nak tuduh competitor nak caras business sebab sendiri punya business tak jaga...

Can see the impact by running own business own way and face the consequences when divers comes and complained how unfit of dive equipment etc (positive and negative thoughts)...

Not a big name that been concern, is how they run the dive shop and it does not matter the size of the dive shop...

Setakat nak tayang nama & gLamour to be famous just forget it Lah... IF tak ikhlas atau nawaitu entah kemana memang automatic reject dan kena pangkah...

So lastLy that person said, "sendiri mau ingat Lah, Nak gelak ke, Nak take it easy ke, Nak buat bodoh ke, Nak hidup berlagak ke"...

Note :

Dive industry very tiny in Malaysia, everyone will know each other and will say this and that when hospitality and services comes into the picture. To my surprise they were places regardless mainland or islanders who would kill lotsa freelance instructors to undercut dive courses price or vice versa... Those who been in the industry long and regardless being otai or newbie... have a safe and clean business... Money makes a big role as well in the Dive Industry and gives others income as well...

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.
