Competition is heating up in the booming humanoid robotics sector, between US-based Boston Dynamics and China's Unitree. The Chinese firm has just taken a major step forward with the mass marketing of its robots, at relatively attractive prices for professionals.
'While diving might seem intimidating to some, I feel empowered underwater,' says Fatin. Photos: Fatin Nadzirah Mohd Arsad“Once, while drilling underwater with my husband, I accidentally fell along with the hydraulic drill about three metres down after drilling one hole. Thankfully, there was mud at the bottom, and there were two other divers who helped me.
Fatin remembers being bullied by her male peers when she first started out as a commercial diver. The bullying was because she was a woman, not because she lacked the skills or knowledge to get the job done.“Initially, some guys doubted my abilities simply because I’m a woman. They tried to overwhelm me by giving me extra work, but I refused to let them break me. I used to cry, but I never gave up.
Fatin is married to fellow commercial diver Ahmad Saifuddin Ahmad Sapawi, 35. They met in 2012 during a scuba diving trip at Bidong Island, Terengganu. The couple has three daughters, who are four, seven and 10.Fatin said she’s always loved water-based sports and activities. The former student from SM Taman Melawati in KL even worked as a swim instructor while she was schooling.
The go-getter decided to get her commercial diving license in 2021. Fatin shared that Ahmad Saifuddin was a huge support during this time. It wasn’t easy, she shared, as it took a good deal of training, effort, and expenses. Once she obtained her certifications, it was only a matter of time before Fatin left the nine-to-five grind to pursue a career as a commercial diver.
“One of the biggest challenges is managing pressure changes, strong currents, and limited visibility, especially when working at night.”
