A big shout-out to Hu Li Lin and Family for their gratitude and for putting us in the limelight a bit with below letter in the Straits Times newspaper. We're happy that all's well that ends well.
I AM the younger sister of Mr Hu Jin Jie, the Singaporean diver who was rescued alongside five others. Many people offered strong support to my family during this time of crisis.
We are extremely grateful to Tioman Ferry. After hearing about how we were unable to catch the last ferry leaving Mersing at 4.30pm, they made an extra effort to liaise with others to provide special transportation for us. They arranged for a van to ferry us from our home in Singapore to Mersing, and were even prepared to arrange for other emergency transport services for us.
They offered continual assistance, and provided us with a listening ear. They also gave us the latest updates on the divers.
Through this ordeal, we have learnt to cherish my brother even more and appreciate our family life.

1. You are strongly advised to always call our Mersing Harbour Centre Hotline number the day before your ferry journey. Our Counter staff will give you the latest ferry departure time updates.
2. The ferry can be subject to changeable departure timings. Departure times may need to be adjusted on-the-fly and, in certain weather conditions, the ferry may even be canceled. Please also note that holding your reservations is contingent on a timely arrival at the ferry terminal, as the ferry crew has final discretion of seating allocation during the boarding procedure. As such, arriving at the ferry terminal with ample time, i.e. at least 1.5 hours, to spare before stated departure time is therefore highly recommended, particularly since the ferry may on occasion need to depart ahead of scheduled departure time, for instance due to impending unfavorable local sailing conditions.
