Mission Dive 1.2

During the 5 days there, we were provided with good food. 1st night's dinner was this via buffet style. You can refill water, coffee & tea all day long if you take the package holiday. Food will be 3 meals a day. Very mouth watering food. So after dinner we loitered around the dining area to chit and chat & play card games. Joe was nice enough to show his so-called magic to me. I was like a dumbo i thought to myself. In order to entertain i need to laugh abit..wak wak wak...Proceed to sleep quite early.

Oh yea..this post will be bloody long as there's tonnes of photos!! i only choose some of them out.

Next morning. 2nd day. There's some effect on the photos. Mists?? nope.. due to the camera was in a cold room & when i brough it out to shoot some morning shots it became like this. Anyway i thought it's a good photo taken. Was the first to woke as i do not wish to fight for the washroom. Then around 8am we we for our break of the fast.

Around 9am we gather ourselves at the dive shop to setup our dive equipment. 1st location of the day is Tokong Laut a.k.a temple of sea. This dive site is one of the best dive site in whole perhentian. Maximum depth is 28 metre if i'm not mistaken.

This is Joe the american. Dia ada perangai yang tak tau saya nak macam mana sebut. Kena taip dalam bahasa just in case dia terserempak blog saya. Hansem tak?? Beliau pernah pergi ke Jepun dan negara asia lain-lain.

And this is me. Kenneth Norman. Saw my shoulder??tattoo. I've done my tattoo at last. Sorry for my body. No muscle and it's just fats around & my hormone abit too much so abit hairy on my chest. Do i need to censor my nipple? Incase the gahment tangkap me for porn.

This is Lena my dive buddy for this trip. Like she's not wearing her bra like that. Trying to cover her top. See that aunty behind?? Big papaya oh!! some more wear bra!!..hahaha

So after waiting for others to get ready, there was a briefing to brief us on what to expect & the normal procedure in order to cover their ass if something nasty happen. This singaporen lady was getting ready to roll back into the sea. When we reached the site, there were already 11 boats there!! really a shock! Normally Tokong Laut is best dived in the early morning as the visibility is not bad & if you are doing multiple dive a day you need to start of the deepest dive so you won't get to do decompression. That day the visibility was very good!

This is the sign of clear. Once you rolled into the water you need to do this sign in order to let others know. Happy happy.

This is the 'ok'. In diving if you are using the thumbs up sign, it is not ok. Thumbs up is a sign to ascend to surface.

The first dive was a problem for Lena and me as we couldn't descend due to insufficient weight. That's a real surprise for me cause we were still using the same weight the day before. So Jon our divemaster pulled me down first & then Lena's turn. See the beauty of diving?? everything is blue!! not porn of course.

But once down there, i got lost with the pack!! *^*&(%^**%&*!!!! Too much of divers!! You see there are also traffice jam underwater! Also the divemaster is not doing a good job i'd say. Too fast. So what to do when you lost your buddy & the rest of the pack?? I did some diveess around the bouy line & after 20 minutes i did 3 minutes safety stop & got to the surface. One can't dive around without buddy as it is very dangerous. So the proper thing to do is to go ascend.

Managed to take a photo of the angel fish.

Also this grouper

The next dive, i put on 5kg of weight. Got some problem with the bouyancy & the air was used up quite fast.. So the second dive was at Seabell. This site also i got another problem. Air used up fast & all of a sudden i can't descend down n floated back up to the surface!! spoiled my dive again!! That's the problem when you don't get to dive often! but overall did around 54minutes. Depth was 14 metres. Visibility was okay around 10 metres. What you can see at this site?

Sponge Corals

Mountains of soft corals

Hard Beautiful Fire Corals

Porcupine Fish

Then the people's choice of photography & loved by people made famous by human is none

other than Clown Fish. Ini tipu punya clown fish i think.

And another Clown fish with anemone.

Then the last dive of the day. We reached back at the dive shop around 4pm & replaced our tanks & got briefed & & & & moved back to sea around 4.30pm. The sea was already abit choppy. But who cares?!! Everyone was so happy. Batu Layar is the name of the site. Depth is 14metres. Visibility was around 8 metres and some areas has this termocline. There are a part of water which is very cold and another part of water is normal temperature & that is termocline. This is getting much more better with the dive. The bouyancy control is much more better as i dropped half a kg to 4.5kg. Dive time around 52 minutes plus 3minutes safety stop 5metre. You can see the beauty of underwater world. How many can go 6 feet under & still alive?? Everyone is flying now days. I go underworld you know!!

Lion Fish

Yellow Tail Barracuda. Barracuda swims in a group. If you want to attract this school of barracuda to surround you, all you need to do is float ever slowly and they will come around you so ever closely. Mesmerising!!

You have another type of sponge coral.

Tomato anemone

A lobster in a sponge

Then you can see the weird sea cucumber. It's like a dinasour.

All of a sudden you can see a Hawksbill ninja turtle swimming with you. Now Hawksbill is a bit aggresive compare to other species of ninjas. If you disturb them, they will ninja you. People say only snorkelling can see turtle. But i saw a few times already and this is Lena's lucky as this is the first time she get to see a turtle live under.

So after 49minutes or 50bar we headed back to the bouy line at 5metres to do 3minutes of safety stop. This is the sign that you are low in air of 50 bar.

This is the look when you are underwater. Cool eh??

So then we headed back to our resort. That time was around 6pm++. Got abit of sun burned.

Cam whoring abit with Lena. Like sojai & sopoh. We got 'ahmad' to drive us around!! better than rolls royce i tell you. What vehicle are able to spit water & bump all the way to resort?

As the water was so choppy, i had to use the mask to cover my eye for perlindungan. Tengok tak Joe punya tangan?? sangat panjang.hahaha.. Boleh tak bayangkan benda dibawah?? muahaha..

I was so bored while 'ahmad' is driving n bumping me all the way back, i took a silly shot of myself.

Finally!! got back. This girl is so BIG that she needed a singaporean nanny to help her wear her equipment!

And i was there waiting for her & help took her weight belt too. The whole equipment weights about 20+ kgs!!! When it's dry. Imagine how heavy it is when you got soaked in sea water.

By the time we got our equipment hanged we beratur to get our dinner. Time was around 7.30pm. If we got ourselves smelled nice i think the food will be gone! Dinner for the night was barbeque. Great food!!! Thanks! Joanne only got to do her shore dive as she's taking her open water. She's complaining most of the time as her instructor chopped her when she wants to speak.

See how nice is the food?? Lamb got barbequed. We were so salty.

Then came Joanne's instructor. Funny reaction.


Later after dinner, we got ourselves bathed we was at the dining area for a cup of coffe & transfered the photos to my laptop & viewed the photos. This twin are so different. One is so gross berani & talkative and another is quiet and gentle.hahaha. Got entertained by them.

Later on we called it a day. During the trip kita 3 tak cakap banyak kerana mat salleh kawan yang ikut kita susah nak cakap. Tanya satu soalan jawab satu. Tak shiok pun. Kalaulah he's a fun type kita tak akan tidur awal. Semua orang punya tak mahu dia. Macam mana?? Tidur lo.
