It was almost three months since the last time we dived together. Gee had arrived from Brunei and rushed to meet us at the Gombak Projet (McDonald’s). We finally left Gombak at 2.00am on Friday the 15th, took the Jerangau-Jabor road, stopped thrice: once at the Gambang R&R, then at Jerangau for a toilet break, and Kampung Pela, a short drive away from Jerangau, for the Subuh prayers. We had breakfast near UMT (formerly KUSTEM) before finally making our way to the Merang jetty.
Upon departure I knew viz was excellent as I could see the bottom of the Merang river. Definitely good dives ahead. We did two dives on the first day (including a night dive that Gee and I and a few others did). Three dives the next day.
A storm hit us on the final night, but the tents of my children and I were okay.
We left Bidong at 6pm on Sunday the 17th June, had an early dinner at Merang, another stop to refuel my Naza at Batu Burok, another toilet break near Dungun, and Gee had to stop to refuel at the Gambang R&R (Westbound).
We arrived back in KL at around 3am.
