Day: January 31, 2007

Three days from now I’ll probably be doing my third or fourth dive already, probably another dive before commencing the night dive. Four days from now hopefully I’ll get to do two more dives. So I’m aiming for 7-8 dives this weekend just to make sure I have lots of photos and video footages so I’d get to make meaningful videos…last which was of the August 2006 trip to Perhentian.

On this trip too shall the full potential of my new Princeton Tec eLED Shockwave dive torch be realised, and for the first time I shall be diving with shears rather than a diving knife. Apart from that, with my PADI decal for my 2007 membership already pasted on my C-card, I shall also have my new self-inking rubber stamp for my charges’ logbook.

I really want to take lots and lots of pictures this time.

Come Friday, I shall make my way to Bagan Pasir near Tanjung Karang and board the MV Kaleebso for the 10-hour journey to Pulau Jarak…after a 15-month absence. With me in my group will be Nazir Erwan a.k.a Nazir4321 from Kundang in Sungai Buloh (5km from where I used to live) and his friend from Shah Alam. Hopefully Snafu will be able to j0in us on this trip. Since I have an extra SD card, I’m going to do maximum photography and videography.

Anyway, here’s the tides for Jarak for Saturday 3rd Feb 2007 and Sunday 4th Feb 2007:

Saturday 3rd Feb:

0431H (2.0m); 1057H (0.3m); 1653H (2.1m); 2315H (0.5m)

Sunday 4th Feb:

0500H (2.1m); 1125H (0.3m); 1718H (2.1m); 2340H (0.5m)

Weather for Jarak should be:

Weather should be fine through the weekend with rain in one or two places in the North Malacca Strait.

Ahhh….2 more days to go to make that journey…
