We’ve been planning this trip for some time, and I’d say Kudos to Mr Ku and Mr Lam for organizing the trip. It sure took lots of emails and smses to get everyone coordinated, and finally, we met at the Tanah Merah Jetty to set off to Batam to the Nongsa Puri Marina, where the White Manta awaits.

Joining us on the trip, we had CheeXiong (seen here eating Roti John), my dive buddy on the last dive trip in Aur. He’s our super last minute inclusion for this dive trip!!!

The Regular folks, Seby, Daryl were there too, and we had two more mature gentlemen with us! (Vince Q and PKK). There was also Chelsia (somehow I think I got the spelling wrong), the only lady who joined us in our group!

We got there and took a minibus to the boat, check out Daryl’s ever so “glam” supermodel smile!

Here’s a picture of the dive boat, in the night, It was the only boat lit up in the marina. A super cool boat!!
My apologies if the pictures seem blurry here, coz the platform was really rocking up and down from the waves!
