Before i begin, some of you may have wondered what happen to Kaleebso earlier on this year in Jarak Waters, here are some links where you can read about it :- http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/2/15/nation/16888252&sec=nation http://jelas.info/2007/02/16/my-dad-terrorised-by-law-enforcement-at-sea/ OK now for the program : This is an extended trip, in fact i don't think we have ever managed such a long LOB trip before. Night 1(27th Apr ): 0800: meet at some place to board the bus (this year i try to get the super nice bus - i nominate Kum as the Bus steward to serve wet tissues) (dinner order is still chicken rice, if required) 1200 : Reach the mother ship and drink Kopi and listen to khaylee recite the usual stuff. Day 1 (28th Apr) : (tioman) Dive #1, Dive #2, Dive #3 (i want to suggest night dive but i think all the wussies sure would not go given mary's fabulous cooking) Day 2 (29th Apr): (Tioman /Aur and in between) Estimate to do 3 dives and 1 night dive. Highlights inculde : (Annual Tulai UF Championship) (Annual Malang wetsuitless dive) Day 3 (30th Apr) : (Aur and some small island like rawa) Estimate 3 dives (Possible some scuba tryouts for the non divers) Day 4 (1st May): Return trip 2 dives (can substitue with gorging ourselves to death with mary's teochew porridge. Catch return bus and reach singapore in evening. Dive Site selection: 1) as usual the decision depends on Khaylee but i feel we should revisit some of the old places like rainer's , roger's wreck, 2) most of us would have experience rocking in the boat the whole night to see the stupid big garupa at kuantan wreck so i thot we give it a mis this time instead (unless someone violently objects) Dive Planning/Certifications 1) there will be me and toddy leading the dives but from past experience - you guys really don;t need us! nevertheless.....we will be there to hold you D-rings should you bloody need ! hehe! 2) I assuming all of us are minimally ADV trained.....if you are not....let me know so i can do a adv course on board(additional charges applies) ..... Creature Comfort 1) you guys know the drill - BYO (towels, sun block, frisbee, bcd/regs) boat will only provide weights and tanks (so let me know if you need rentals) 2) DVD Issue - Last year was painful because i had to entertain the angry crowd with my recital of a passage on Cleo's Sex Page in hokkien when the heart transplant operation by me and kim han on the 2 DVD players failed..... Therefore i will bring along a portable dvd player just in case 3) beers and alcohol - the usual rules applies. However, if you guys want....i suggest we get 1 crate up the boat and only drink it on the last night.....i can arrange with khaylee to make it so.... 4) Food - the usual mary stuff....don;t expect too much....like real...it gonna be good cos i added supplements to the PARSAR marketing money.....but still no sharks fin/abalone/lobster/buddha jump over the ship ok! Others 1) insurance - please ensure you have coverage that inculde diving 2) Call mindef notification at : http://www.ns.gov.sg/ 3) Change ringgit : almost no need but 50 rm should be enough 4) Passport updates : at lease 3 months till expiry 5) special request : please let me know in advance. okie dookie.... will update on the rest of the items as we come nearer !
