Insights into inconsistencies
-----------------------------
Debby has been "in dialogue with NOAH members on significant
occasions, attending their press conference, and now this session at
NSS has raised several inconsistencies with regards to plans for the
project, that are worth noting". She reveals these inconsistencies on her Hantu

Only 3 dive sites in Singapore?
-------------------------------
Sydney Chew knew of only 3: Hantu, Jong and Sisters, of which he said Sisters
was closed (fact: it has never been closed to divers). Jani gives a full brief
of the 15 dive sites available in Singapore, which are currently being surveyed
on a regular basis, how to access these sites, what can be seen there with links
to tons of photos and more info about the sites.
