deep exploration starts

lets begin the quest!

under groups can get rather crowded at times

starting on decent

& schools of fishes!

not to mention schools

I see a diver with my little eye

giant stride leap

& its heck it's one of the biggest in the area too

love the untouched wilderness & shorelines

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

back on dry land!

talking about boat parking... umm docking lots!

the Mersing jetty

Titantic flying stance anyone?

dive buddy Ridzwan & KZ

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

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

enjoying the moment...

boat atf's playing tai-tee to the maxes! got cards can play, anywhere! haven't tried underwater thou...

but to play tai-tee on the dive platform!

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

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

& on our way back to Mersing!

farewell Sebukang, farewell Aur!

our dive boat is our return ferry too

& its now where we actually get to see sotong in the water!

on our 4hr return boat trip! glup!

& we are off!

farewell pic to the island before departure

It reads Adventure Underwater Resort btw...

2nd-ers!

NAUI Scuba Diving group 17Mar - 19Mar 06!

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

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

diveboat ready

better view of the "beached" buoys at low tide

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

the sky's ideally clear, waters not to choppy

tide's still low

the railings are a popular place for drying of BCs

KG Sebukang at 6.45am

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

& abduction!

backstratch!

Ridzwan's spotted prey

nevertheless a nice group pic opportunity

yea baby!

still no night diving.. again! ahah!

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