sotong watching!

armed no other than diving lights to attract the "ceatures of the night"

we spotted a few fishes here & there, but no glowing sotong

till Uncle George came with his Uber pistol grip diving light!

the camera is not good catching things underwater thou...esp at night

nevertheless we spotted a craby critter on the jetty pillars

which very much left the girls excited & started "crab saving" with lifeline!

still no night diving.. again! ahah!

yea baby!

nevertheless a nice group pic opportunity

Ridzwan's spotted prey

backstratch!

& abduction!

asleep @ 10pm with an early dive tomorrow morning, it very comforting cool to sleep here at night despite the aircon's generator

KG Sebukang at 6.45am

the railings are a popular place for drying of BCs

tide's still low

the sky's ideally clear, waters not to choppy

we can easily see the rock formations & buoy lines from the jetty

better view of the "beached" buoys at low tide

diveboat ready

& our 7am boat dive started thereafter (view the underwater album this dive photos!)

interior shot of our chalet huts (finally we can turn on the aircon!)

1 hr into the journey & we can still see the islands

what else to keep us occupied on a 4hr boat trip..

but to play tai-tee on the dive platform!

we slowly migrated to the starboard on the later part of the return journey

our veteran boat uncle who we spent most of our time chatting to on the boat's starboard

A trip to enjoy, a holiday experience to remember..
