Alan's Diving Career
by Alan Lee
My diving journey started way back in 1994 when I was a student in Australia, but unfortunately, I never completed my Open Water module due to a bout of flu. After years of procrastination and other commitments, I decided in 2006 that I wanted to finally complete what I had started more than a decade ago before I get any older. Being a history buff, I had always dreamed of diving the WW2 wrecks of HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse. Both ships were part of Force Z, which was sent up the coast of Malaysia to counter the Japanese invasion threat. Being able to see the wrecks of these two iconic ships, would be dream come true for me. Most divers start off wanting to see the fishes and corals, but I had made my mind up to go tech.
