Being a Naval Diver, CPL Mohamed Firdauz Bin Mohamed Ali is no stranger to tough training.
This time, however, he had the added challenge of training while fasting for Ramadan.
“The first few rehearsals were tough,” said CPL Firdauz, “the only way to cool off was to pour water over my head during breaks.”
But his peers and trainers’ concern for him kept him going – they prepared additional bottles of water for him to cool off, as well as refreshments for when he breaks fast.

“Fried chicken! Roti prata! A nice cold pint of beer! RAMENNNN!!”
These were some of the cravings that Tosh, Weiliang and the rest of the Ah BOYS to MEN cast exclaimed when asked how they would celebrate after wrapping up “Ah Boys to Men 3: Frogmen” at the press conference yesterday.
To get ready for their roles, besides abiding by a strict diet, the cast has to undergo a gruelling training with our divers instructors. One of them even had to overcome his fear of water while learning how to swim. Catch a teaser of their training here: http://www.youtube.com/
Before wrapping up the press conference, the cast has one final wish: for Singaporeans to see that there’s a special breed of men, right here in our nation, defending our home silently. The cast is committed in faithfully presenting the divers training in a realistic manner.
Our divers are excited about the production unfolding on the grounds of Naval Diving Unit (NDU), in Sembawang Camp. Parts of the filming will coincide with the current 42nd batch of divers’ training. REC Muhammad Shairazi and his batch boys said “The training that we go through is not ordinary. Not everyone can make it as a diver, so it is a privilege to be here. Through the movie, we hope the audience can feel the impact of how tough our training really is.”
