So we were all set to head to Tioman Island in malaysia as a family and i would get some dives in (essential vacation activity).. There's some killer diving there and the place is all around beautiful. Packed the fam up on sunday night, drove up to the town on the coast and stayed in a hotel that night so we could get the first ferry the next day. Got to the island by 10:00am and decided to dedicate the day to my kids although dives were tempting me.. was gonna dive Tiger Reef the next day (tuesday) which i was pumped about.
then it happened..
that night my wife got ultra sick.. puking ALL night long and in to the next day. tried to see if i could get her home but we missed the last ferry to the mainland for tuesday. So i looked after the kids, all day. She felt slightly better later in the day, but still very weak. i had already missed the morning and afternoon dives, tried to sneak in a night dive off the shore but the tide went out so far that diving was a no-go. So i did the saddest thing imaginable.. a night snorkel... (lol) went to bed and we left for home the next morning..
so close to great diving, but so far... anyone else had a dive trip go south?
