Tioman

Was out diving at Tioman over the earth day weekend... Was doing my deep diver specialty course and currently left one more dive to certification.... This trip was a big group... great training for Adam as a DMT for such a large group.... A lot of people say Tioman dive sites are boring and dead... however this is not true....I had a total of 5 dives over the weekend at Soyak Island, Pirate Reef, Renggis Island, Marine Park and Tomok. Guess the only boring dive was marine park as the vis was extremely poor due to many OWD students... I managed to see many marine creatures that the island could promise... during the 2 days of diving... managed to see nice Nudibranches, Black Tip Reef Sharks, Turtles, White Banded Sea Snake, Cuttlefish, Glass Shrimps, Great Barracudas, school of Barracudas and more.... Marine life beyond the sandy patch from the reef seemed to be untouched and different.... there are many soft corals at the sandy patch at great depth away from the reef... Guess I might go back to do more exploratory dives...

On the other hand... manage to make more new frens and get to know some frens better... ppl like Dave, Xin Hua, Nana, Erny, Raymond, Yumi, Chandra, Adam, Junaida. Look forward to dive with u all again! Perhaps I shall go Dayang over the Vesak Day long weekend.
