31st NCC Basic Diving Course
It has been about 3 weeks since graduating from the 31st NCC Basic Diving Course, a 2 weeks full-time residential diving course specifically designed to equip trainees with the basics in SCUBA diving, from the 14th Nov 08 – 28th Nov 08.
This year’s BDC witnessed a total of 13 cadet and 4 cadet officer graduands.
 
Below is our humble review/journal of 31st NCC BDC.
Pre-Course
Before embarking on our journey in the 31st NCC BDC, rigid swim tests as well as stringent medical check-up were put in place to short list applicants that meets the criteria laid down to ensure that we are both physically conditioned and medically fit for the challenges ahead.
The 1st swim test started as early as mid July and subsequently, a medical check-up that included a hyperbaric chamber dive and a final swim test held at the Naval Diving Unit (NDU) in October.
Having passed all these requirements, all that awaited us was 14th Nov, the day we report at Sembawang Camp, Naval Diving Unit for a grueling 2 weeks full-time residential Basic Diving Course. Frankly speaking, at that point in time, we did not know what to expect from the course. Thoughts like “Would the course be tough?” “Will we fulfill the requirements to become a diver?” crossed our minds, coupled with the fact that dropout rate from previous BDC batches were pretty high made us even more uptight.
Day 1, 14th Nov
With mixed feelings, we arrived at the gates of Sembawang Camp, in our no.3 uniform, 8 in the morning. It has been long since we were trainees of a course, falling in, together with Part C and Part D cadets. That kind of feeling is somewhat awkward, but nonetheless brings back fond memories of our cadet days. With our bags packed, mind set, all 21 divers-to-be, set foot into Naval Diving Unit (NDU). The day commenced with a course opening by our course instructors, bunch of professional naval divers of the NDU. We were given a brief picture of the day to day schedule of the course, as well as the course outline.
There are three phases to BDC; phase one is all about lectures, phase two focused on pool training and diving drills and phase three comprised of open sea dive. These phases will make up the two weeks of our stay at NDU. The day went by fast and before we knew it, it was time for us to book out, to spend the weekend with our loved ones and book in at Sunday night. “To take the weekend to rest?” I doubt so, the weekend was more of a time for us to further mentally prepare ourselves, for hell that awaits us on Monday.
Monday, 17th Nov
It was 5:30 in the morning, after a sleepless night, our cabin(bunk) of 4 cadet officers woke up sluggishly only to discover insects bites all over our limbs. With the itchiness all over our body accompanied with fatigue, we dragged ourselves unwillingly to the cookhouse to consume our breakfast. Phase one of our diving course commenced on Monday. The lecture began at 7am and ended late evening. We were taught the theoretical fundamentals of diving, such as diving physics, diving laws, diving physiology and diving medicine.
Although the lessons were long duration, dry and boring at times; nevertheless, it was vital for all divers to memorize what that were taught by heart not just solely because we had to sit for a written diving theory and diving medical examination, but because the lessons will prepare us for our ultimate goal, the sea dive, and to ensure that the crucial word in diving, “SAFETY” is not being compromised.
Fins on, 18th Nov
Tuesday was the day we don our fins(flippers) for the very first time, the experience of swimming with fins was one of a kind. We learnt a new swimming technique, the “turtle-back”. We swam faced up, our face breaking the surface of the water, with our body laid back, and flutter kicking with our fins on. It was tough for some, while the majority got the hang of it pretty fast. By the end of an hour or so, all of us were physically worn out by the “turtle-backing”. It was then that the instructors came up with the brilliant idea, “flutter kicks”. We were in flutter kick position, held in the position until everyone’s feet were off the ground before carrying on with our counts. That pretty much concludes our training for the day.
- like seals, we swam.
After dinner, we stepped into our cabin, a comfortably large room for 4, each with a king-koil bed and a personal bedside closet. For 5 days a week, our bunk mates and course mates plays more than a role of a fellow cadet and cadet officer, but to treat all of them as a family and what that gels us together, the course. In this course, it is essential to strip off our pride, to put oneself as a trainee and sees others as one. BDC is about the bonding and team spirit.
First plunge, 19th Nov
The day that we all longed for was here, no more theory lessons, what that is left ahead of us, the pool, the sea, and our POP. Step by step, we were working towards our goal. We took our first plunge into the dive pool, 4 metres deep was where we will set foot. Facemask(goggle) and mouth piece(breathing apparatus) on, what that runs through our minds were the steps and procedures we were about to execute down under. “Ascend too fast, you’ll have a tendency of burst lungs” those were the lines that were deeply etched into our minds and being continuously reminded. We were excited, nervous, etc, with a ball of emotions, we took the plunge. Before we even notice, we’ve hit the 4 metres mark. Without fail, we executed our E-drills(emergency drills). E-surfacing, Buddy breathing, and Companion divers’ drill.
We completed the drills and surfaced at a steady rate to prevent any chances of physiologically related injuries. Upon breathing atmosphere, we were already panting as though we just did our 2.4km run. Which we come to learn that although while diving we are in a semi gravity-less state, it can be equally exhausting as working out on land.
After lunch, we were introduced to In Water proficiency(IWP) which we had to thread water using solely our fins to keep us afloat for 6 mins and on top of that an additional 2 weight around our waist to further weigh us down. The IWP training was put into practice to prepare us for the ultimate challenge, double cylinders, 30kg, one minute.
After dinner, diving medical test was next on the agenda, many nights of revision was put to use. Similar to the NCC, the passing grade was not 50%. Instead, 80% to pass. The paper was relatively straight forward and everyone that puts in effort to study for it will pass. Majority of us cleared the test in one attempt. Which means one test down, and one more to go.
10 metres, the danger zone, 20th Nov
As the heading suggests, 10 metres was the mark for the day. At surface, 10 metres looks way deeper than it seems and to perform the most tedious E-drills of all, the companion divers’ drill at that depth really posts a challenge to most of us. We also learnt that 10 metres to atmosphere was the “danger zone” of diving. Change in pressure was the greatest in this zone, posing the most threat of decompression illnesses and the tendency of burst lungs. Caution has to be exercised in every action. This was a test of water confidence at that depth and also the endurance and determination of mind over body, even when our limbs could no longer take it, the mind still persevere until we accomplish our drill. That is, to bring our “unconscious” buddy to surface with one man’s power.
It was our turn, and as C/2LT Alfred and I took the plunge, we hoped for the best. Upon reaching the bottom, we could feel the significant difference between 4 metres and where we were, air was much dryer and cooler making it intricate to get the correct breathing pace. I was the first to be the “rescuer”, as I saw my buddy lay “motionlessly” on the pool tiles, I carried out what that has to be done and when all is in position, I kicked off the pool bottom and “finned” as though there was no tomorrow. As we gradually ascended, exhaustion started to creep in, “would I waste the effort of bringing my buddy so high up, yet fail myself and sinking to the bottom again?” those words ran through my mind, I was panting heavily underwater, I almost could no longer hang on, and then, we broke surface. We made it, I inflated his buoyancy compensator (B.C) and we were safe. Then, it was my turn as the “casualty”. We shared the same mindset, he pushed on and we were on land once again.
The Aggressor, 20th Nov
After lunch we were introduced to a few new instructors, only to find out that they weren’t there to facilitate our course for a day or anything of that sort. But, to “attack” us underwater, they are the aggressors. We were left in awe when our instructors showed us a video demonstration of what pool competency was all about. Pool competency is being practiced by all naval divers to simulate strong underwater current causing the facemask and mouth piece to be dislodged from the face. An aggressor will “attack” the diver and remove his facemask and mouth piece, without air source, the diver has to hold his breath and remedy his equipments underwater.
When we were told there were three stages to pool competency with an increment to its difficulty from each stage and we had to complete all three stages of pool competency, all of us were flabbergasted. But, no matter how fearful we were, there was no chance of avoiding it, we had to do it.
Pool competency was a test of mental power, to overcome the fear of not having air underwater, a test of composure and that is to remedy your equipment with minimal visual ability.
My turn came, I felt someone grabbing onto my cylinders, then a hand came down to show an “OK” sign. I replied “OK”. He ripped my facemask and mouth piece off with great force, my hands clinging onto my shoulder straps firmly. He left, I checked clear my surroundings, got into sitting position, traced for my air source and the mouth piece was back in my mouth. Still slightly shaken by the “attack”, I calmed myself down and got ready for the aggressor to hit me once more, this time round while on the move. He did, just as previously; only difference is the element of surprise, absence of the “OK” sign to warn. I knew what would be coming, stayed composed and remedied myself. The afternoon rounded up with everyone clearing their stage 1 pool competency, still with disbelieve how we managed to do it.
Diving theory test was scheduled after dinner, we were all eager to sit for the test, partially because we’re ready for the test after mugging for endless nights but mainly because we just want to get it over and done with.
As the days went by, we got more and more homesick. Missing our loved ones, our cozy bed and without a doubt, the outside food. All were looking forward to the weekend.
The Unforgiving 1 minute, 21st Nov
The plan for the day was simple, complete pool competency stage 2 and 3, and IWP test. We did the IWP before the pool competency. Double cylinders weighing 30kg donned on our shoulders, with our facemask on, buoyancy compensator completely deflated, and fins ready for the unforgiving one minute. The beep sounded from the instructor’s watch, the clock starts ticking from 60 seconds. We finned at a constant rate, ready to react to the word “blow”. We waited… 20 seconds left, it felt like eternity. “blow”, we grabbed the mouth piece from the buoyancy piece tcompensator and gave it a deep hard blow. Breath by breath, the B.C started to inflate, we did it. All that completed the IWP test had that breathless look accompanied with a smirk, reflecting that self-satisfaction deep within.
Initially we thought pool competency 2 and 3 was just a slight variation from pool competency 1. It turned out that pool competency 2 and 3 was much more complicated than it seems and is easier said than done. The difference between pool competency 2 from 1 is that the aggressor would tangle your mouthpiece to parts of your cylinder and pool competency 3 is performed in buddy system, one diver will get hit by stage 1 and the other stage 2. No matter how demanding the tasks were, we had to do it, to live by the diver’s motto, “Nothing stands in our way”. Indeed, we did our best and although many of us had to try it a few times before passing the test, ultimately everyone cleared both pool competency stage 2 and 3. This comes to say that we’ll be dismissed early, we were dismissed at around 3pm and the weekend was ours’ to spend.
By the end of week 1, our course totaled 4 trainees being dropped out of course due to medical reasons as well as not fulfilling the course criteria.
Boat Entry, 24th Nov
As usual, the day began with breakfast at 6am. All of us were energetic and ready for dive possibly due to the amount of rest we get at home and also that we’ve long got used to our kingkoil bed. This week is phase 3 of BDC. Sea dive week, what we’ve been eye-balling since day one, the week to prove ourselves as divers, to conquer the sea of the NDU.
Today, we set our eyes on the sea boat, an inflated rubber boat that is used for divers operations out at sea. At the dive pool, we learnt how to execute the boat entry, which is to dive back first into the water and also recovering a diver from the sea into the boat. It better prepared ourselves for sea dive that awaits us the following days of the week. We also practiced on life-line signals used for tended diving, whereby one diver from a pair would be tied down to a diver’s float and the surface attendant would give directional or working signals to the divers down under by the pulls and bells of the diver’s float line. For example, 3 bells would represent face your line and go right and 4 bells go left. After dinner was admin(free) time, time for us to interact with our course mates, to know more about one another, in a nutshell, for us to chill.
12M Deep Down Under, 25th Nov
We’ve waited long enough and for those that have survived till this stage were unquestionably ready for the challenge. From lectures, to tiring “turtle-backing”, tedious E-drills, Endurance demanding IWP, intricate Pool Competency and to the sea, here we come. We got dressed into our “stilo-milo” wet suit, fully geared up and ready to conquer the sea.
Looking at our point of entrance, the tranquil sea, reflects the radiating sunlight suggesting a welcoming glow. We were among the first few pairs of divers and what that awaited us deep down under was the jackstay line. 12 metres down, a thick rope laid in the form of a circuit for divers to follow and complete a jackstay search. Diving in the sea was more or less as of what we’ve expected. As many divers that have went before us have mentioned, the visibility at Sembawang NDU sea is really low, not more than 2 metres, the sea bed would be muddy and expect to see nothing except for lots of thrash and the occasional barnacle eating fishes.
Diving in the sea was indeed nothing like diving in the pool. First of all, there is higher danger factors involved, like dangerous marine animals, some of which we managed to catch a sight of. Like poisonous sea snake, that was sighted near shore, harmless sea mites, cluster of tiny sea insects that comes in battalion with the mission to suck blood off divers, and also the occasional jelly fish sighting.
We learnt that diving out at sea boils down to one word, “trust”, mutual trust between dive buddies is vital as the main difference between sea dives and pool dives is the ability to spot divers underwater and the situations they’re facing. Unlike pool dives, although during sea dives, divers are marked by a divers’ float, supervisors are unable to see what the divers are doing down under, when faced with any situation be it prearranged or an emergency, both divers have to depend on each other to get out of that situation and that is when the mutual trust plays a very important role.
1 hour 30 minutes was the total duration of our jackstay dive, the longest dive time we’ve clocked throughout the whole course. So, we thought this marked our first sea dive experience. Then, one of our instructors decided to “spice” things up. We were made to do “wet and sandy” at the shore. All were ordered to fall-in facing the sea at the shore. When our instructor said “drop”, we will drop(push up position), when he says “get wet”, we will rush into the sea and make sure that our body is free from even the very last grain of sand or else we’ll just have to repeat the whole process over and over again. When instructor says “flutter kick”, we will get into flutter kick position with our fins on and only till every pair of legs are off the sand, will we get to carry on with our flutter kicks. “fins on”, we’ll don our fins with lightning speed, “fins off”, and fins are expected to come off instantly. The procedure carried on and on, until the instructors were satisfied.
“Will I regard this as punishment?”, not necessarily; because in the first place it was our slow turnover rate between activities that triggered the “volcano” to erupt. As one of our instructors always reminded “It’s either sweet, or cane”, what he says is what he practices and that he performs.
On a side note, time seems to fly while diving and in reality, diving is indeed a physically exhausting activity that one can even suffer from dehydration if not sufficiently hydrated before and after a dive even though the body is submerged in water during a dive.
The last dive, 26th Nov
Today would be the most tiring but memorable day of 31st BDC. Reason being we had to complete Sea Circuit in the morning, circular search in the noon and night dive in the night. Today would also be the most memorable day of 31st BDC as the day marked our very last diving day at NDU Dive School.
“The sea circuits, only a handful of privileged few were given the opportunity to try out.” Those were the words from the mouth of our instructors, and we were certainly honored to be able to be one of the privileged few that were able to complete the sea circuit.
The sea circuit, the SOC of the naval divers and not every mother’s son would be given this rare opportunity. We were tasked to complete 2 revolutions of the Sea Circuit within 20 minutes. To begin with, we are to turtle-back from the podium to the obstacle rope, scale the rope, cross a balancing beam, make a short distance run to the jump tower, make your way up the stairways to the yellow platform, jump of the 5 - 7metres tower, turtle-back for another 300 – 400 metres before reaching shore and finally, running back to the podium. That makes one cycle and to complete 2 revolutions within 20 minutes was a hurdle we had to cross in order to meet the requirements to pass out from the course.
The scaling of the obstacle rope posed a problem to some, but for the majority, pure arm strength with the correct technique would do the job. The tower jump might seem an impossible mission initially, but with days of training at the dive pool, jumping of a 3 metre tower to prepare us for sea circuit, hesitating whether to jump off the tower or not was simply not an option. We just sprinted up the tower, fit on our fins, stood at the verge of the platform, took a deep breath, and the word “Divers!” was exclaimed before we leap off into nothingness. The words that kept emphasizing itself was “Just Jump!”. It was incredible how all of it went on so programmed and robotic, no faces showed any signs of fear or hesitation. The final 300 – 400 metres turtle-back to surface was the toughest element of the Sea Circuit, The shore seemed so far and the jump tower never looked as if it had ever decreased in scale. The final swim was a horrendously torturous experience.
We met our task requirement, clearing 2 revolution of the sea circuit under 18mins.
We then proceeded to our circular searches, all geared on, we sat on the edge of the sea boat and gripped on tightly as the engine hurtles and the sea boat speeds to its destination. We arrived at a datum(float used to mark out a location), executed the boat entry drill, checked to ensure all equipments were functional and descended to the sea bed.
The objective for circular search was to tie down a distance reel(measuring tap) to a sinker(starting point) and pay out the line a metre by a metre, going in circles, in search for a “lost” object which was a blue container. Surprisingly, the visibility was good and we could easily see anything within the 2 metres range. We were lucky to have been deployed in an area where the sea bed was sand instead of mud. We had high hopes and were confident that given such favourable conditions, finding the “lost” object would be a piece of cake. Metre by metre, we went till we reach 4 metres away from the sinker but to no avail. The blue container was nowhere in sight.
We were called to surface, by lifeline signal passed down by the instructor on boat and we did as accordingly. Back to the podium, we found out that all other pairs of divers suffered the same fate as us, none recovered anything. We then learnt that the instructors have not even sunk our “lost” object, the blue container and that speaks why we had no catch.
It was 7pm, we were seated at the podium, listening to the dive plan for our last dive; night tended diving with life-line signals. We were glad that this was our last dive and that after tonight’s dive; we can proudly call ourselves qualified divers. But, ironically, we still couldn’t accept the fact that this would mark the end of our chapter at BDC, and probably even the last dive of our entire life.
On the other hand, one thing was for sure, everyone lived the moment of their night dive to the fullest. Diving in the night was an absolute test of water confidence, the capability to work in a condition of zero visibility and the ability to interpret and perform life-line signals underwater. Night diving was a fresh experience, with visibility that only permits an individual to make up a faint figure even when one’s palm is directly in front of the facemask, we had to wholly rely on our sense of touch and sense of direction to navigate and perform as per the life-line signal. Night diving was simply a fantasy, particles in the sea appeared to glow in the night, emitting a green luminous glow. The view was magnificent and was a one of a kind experience.
The night ended with a rewarding night snack, the scrumptious sandwiches complemented our tiring day and accompanied us as we cleaned up the podium late at night. A quick bathe and our cozy kingkoil bed made the day complete. Diving has come to an end and tomorrow will be an easy day, the cadet officers were entrusted with the responsibility of planning for our big day, 31st NCC Basic Diving Course graduating performance by the cadets.
Easy Day, 27th Nov
Today was “easy day”, we spent the day planning and rehearsing for our graduation ceremony. The day passed really fast, final preparations for our graduation dive performance were made. We also packed our dive gears and accounted for all of them, only waiting to unwillingly bid farewell to what was part of our everyday life for the past two weeks.
Two weeks of hardship and finally, our “big” day felt so tangible; tomorrow, 31st NCC Basic Diving Course Graduation day.
Hoo-Ya! Divers, 28th Nov
It felt like a Déjà vu, that scene of us, dressed smartly in our no.3 uniform standing proudly in front of our family and friends waiting to receive the prestigious Basic Diving Pin ran through our minds and today is where dreams meets reality.
31st BDC graudands performed our last official duty in the course. Some prepared for the diving demonstration/performance while the others positioned themselves according to their delegated duties.
 
It was 8:30 in the morning and the first wave of parents reached the gates of NDU. As the minutes passed, parents are being ushered and seated in the viewing gallery waiting for 31st BDC graduands’ dive performance. The diving performance by the cadets, and the short video clip compiled by the NDU instructors that illustrated the thick and thins we went through during our 2 weeks of stay at NDU Dive School was simple theatrical and truly heartwarming.
With camera lights flashing, one by one, we shook the hand of the Guest-Of-Honor and were presented the course certificate along with the prestigious Basic Diving Course Pin. What that followed was the donning of the Basic Diving Course Pin by loved ones.
Carrying the pride on our chest, the emcee announced “ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the graduands of 31st NCC Basic Diving Course” tagging along was a roaring round of applause. Our hearts literally melted. All the effort we put in and the hardship we suffered paid off, for today we are branded, “Divers”.
 
“Divers, Bersu-rai!”, “turn-check, left-right-left, Divers!” with great impact, we delivered our final cheer. Following next was the usual photo-taking session, we snapped what we could for that was our last chance of grasping a view of our “home” for 2 weeks.
Instructors were thanked, many hands were shook, and phone numbers were exchanged. As 2 weeks passed surprisingly fast, our episode at NDU came to a halt. Reluctantly, we had to bid farewell to our kingkoil bed, our cabin, course mates, and instructors. Conclusively, it was “goodbye” to NDU Dive School.
The gates of Sembawang Camp creaked open, the outside world welcoming us once more. We stepped out, looked back, and smiled. “We went, we dived, and we conquered”. 31st BDC was history, a beautifully written chapter in our lives, a reminiscence that would be kept somewhere deep within us.
With 28th November marking an end to our adventurous diving experience in 31st NCC BDC, we would like to take this opportunity to thank all our dedicated instructors for making 31st NCC BDC a huge success and also to all graduands of the 31st NCC BDC for making the course an unforgettable experience.
Last but not least, to 31st NCC Basic Diving Course, Hoo-Ya!
Divers…. Special breed of men
