Scuba Dive Pulau Aur, 19-21 Sep 08
Dramatic weekend at Pulau Aur:
Diving from dive boat "Fei-Lou" on Saturday,
Diving to the "Fei-Lou Wreck" on Sunday!
After the 3rd dive of the day, at 6pm on 20 Sep 08, divers were waiting to transfer from the wooden dive boat "Fei-Lou" to the dive resort ashore via a sampan when the bilge (compartments below the waterline) pump failed without warning. Upon discovering the flooding of the bilges, the dive staff immediately evacuated all personnel, cylinders and equipment, from Fei-Lou to the transfer sampan.
Within 2-3 minutes, Fei-Lou went under.

As a result of the professionalism of the staff, there was no panic and there were no injuries at all!
The next morning, the Open Water Divers visited the Fei-Lou Wreck as it was sitting pretty and upright at a depth of 14m. Here are the photos of the wreck and other photos from the diving weekend...
