I am banned from diving for a month because of sore throat and coughing

Received a "sarcastic" and "unkind" message fm my diving instructor friend who has been discussing about having a weekend diving: "I am going out to PERHENTIAN island this weekend. You are not fit to dive even if you get well. So my kind advice is to take good rest and dive next time."

How can they go diving without waiting for me to get well from fever, sore throat and couching that has been troubling me for a week!

My diving instructor accidentally pressed my phone number just now. So i questioned: "How can your guys go diving without me! and why can't your guys wait for me one more week!"

His answer was even crueler:
"First, you will not be well this week, will you?"

"No, i don't think so."

"Second, even after you get well, you are not allowed to dive for a month."

"A month!!!"

:'( Who takes away my happiness with the nature!

Diving in Tenggul Island, Terengganu, 5 Sept - 8 Sept 2007

I went for a 4-day diving in Tenggul Island with a group of 14 students for Advanced Open Water Course of the University Malaysia Diving Club supervised by Major Mike on 5 Sept - 8 Sept.

Surprisingly, jelly fish which was not seen last June had been spotted during most of our dives. Was told that September, October and November are the season of jelly fish in Tenggul Island.

I saw a turtle again.

It was my first underwater photography practise. Have learnt some basic photography techniques from Roslin, a photographer from the News Straits Times.
