This is very important !!!! Do not swim in the Sendat fall at the second level pool which has strong current !!! The pool has a big and long black color hose. Be careful !!! I went to Sendat waterfall today at about 3pm, after I have arrived at the car park, 2 young guys and 1 lady ran to me in very panic asking me "Do you know how to swim, we got a friend guy stuck in the water, can you get him out !!!??" I was completely in shock, i took out my life jacket out from my car and passed to them and asked them to quickly ran up to waterfall and passed to some adults up there first. I quickly ran to the "Second Level" waterfall, quite some people surrounding the pool, after asking around i realised that a Chinese young guy was trapped inside the water by very strong current. It was already more than 20 minutes !!!! No one dared to dive into the water to find the young guy. There were were waiting for the Bomba to come !!! About 30 minutes later, the Bomba arrived, they brought some life jackets and ropes, after some site survey and discussions, few guys with the help of Bomba dived into the water to find the young guy. It was very risky for them, I saw one of them nearly got dragged into the water by the strong current. They all gave up as the current was too strong for them to control the swimming. After a while, they decided to cut the long bamboo and used the bamboo to pull out him from the water. From the lenght for bamboo going into the water, it shows the water is very deap. After some trial, they managed to retrieve the young guy who already lifeless for over 1 hour. It was very horrible experience for me to witness this. How could the second level waterfall has no sign board of warning for not swimming there ???? The last time I went there, i witnessed a guy who got pulled by the strong current at the second level pool, luckily he got saved by 2 other guys. This weekend I may go there to talk to the Penjaga (Guards) to put a warning (BAHAYA) sign board there, if possible the second level pool should be closed with fence to avoid the same tragedy from happening !!! I got to know the young group which lost his friend were first time to Sendat waterfall, they did not know that the second level pool has strong current !!! I went to Sendat waterfall for many times, the water there is cool and clean. But the first, second and thir pool has deep water, be careful for new visitors !!! The third level has the deepest pool.
