Fourth Dive: Tioman Jetty (Night Dive)
Depth: 13.5 metres
Depth: 13.5 metres
Bottom Time: 45 minutes
I tell you, night dive was crazy. It was a virgin night dive for us, and it can be described as thrilling, dangerous, boring etc, it is subjective.
What lurks beneath those waters?
We finally descend, but most of us were so scared, we kept so close to each other that we bumped into each other most of the time. Armed with only a torchlight, and a mediocre one at that, we have to navigate the darkness to see marine life.
Guess what did we saw?
Such a cute porcupine fish.
This one felt really threatened by us and started to blow itself up. You could see it was puffed up and when it came close, all of us really backed off. Hehehehe..
We saw a lone specimen of a barracuda as well, and it was an adult one.
We also saw a old habitant of Tioman jetty which has been living there for than 5 years.
The eel!
Now it has a new companion, which is a cleaner shrimp which was so close to the eel.
Fifth Dive: Marine Park
Depth: 14 metres
Bottom Time: 45 minutes
The last time I went to Marine Park was 2 years ago, and it was such a terrible dive site. When I heard we were going to Marine Park, I sulked. But I was proven wrong.
This time, there were so many fishes; rabbitfishes, parrotfishes, batfishes, porcupine fishes, etc.
We visited a shipwreck first..
The size of the shipwreck was moderate, and there are many sea urchins.
Parrotfish!
Common clownfishes with sea anemone.
The marine life below Marine Park's jetty.
One thing you can find in Marine Park are sometimes fishes you find in the supermarket. The jetty below filled with marine park is so enriched, that it is on par with marine life under Tioman's jetty.
Tomato clownfishes, they're quite uncommon.
Another interesting thing that we saw is this project that was sunken into the water by some Malaysian University, and there's a sign that wrote: PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB!!!
Some experiment for the growth of corals I think.
Sixth Dive: Soyak Island
Depth: 12.5 metres
Bottom Time: 45 minutes
Final dive of the trip, and we kinda relax everything, and decided to play!
Gerald looked like Monkey God posing underwater. Haha!
Michael heading like Superman.
I was doing some dancing moves, and Jeremy saw and kept laughing. That's because I had my regulator in my mouth, and I looked so bloated while dancing.
Super funny!
Ok back to marine life..
This sea cucumber stuck to some coral and can move..
House reef with some fishes.
Puffer!
Ok, that's pretty much the summary of the dives, but there are alot of underwater photos which I haven't shown, but I will for the next few entries. I have so much content, but not enough time to blog em all!
