Our Kusu dive~ after so long... (2 yrs to be exact) A special thanks to Hantu blog's Debby for kindly giving us the bumboat's contact.
It was quite nice dives on Sunday. Hardly any current on the first dive, but current started picking up towards the end of the second dive. I was thankful it didn't rain. The water was quite cold that day.

Here's Freddie, our newly certified OW diver, YookSau, Winnie and George.
The long-time-no-see Ivan on the left, and Philip and Gabriel. Sorry, in this photo nobody was facing the camera :p My fault. I didn't inform them.
Tiffany and Laura-new OW diver. I didn't realise Tiff has straighten her hair until just now when I was editing their last Tioman photos. haha....
I remember there's a cartoon who holds a leave just like Philip. Was it Mashimaro? That's Philip's dive flag by the way. kekeke...
There were more feather stars this time. They said there were supposed to have sea grass growing around this time but we only see tiny ones.
Check out this squat lobster~ The vis wasn't superb that day. We had much much better vis on our first time to Kusu 2 years back. And there were lots of particles. Anyway, this crab was quite big, nearly 2 inches I would say.
Somehow the water behind wasn't totally green and yellow but green/blue, which makes a nice contrast to the red feather star. The lobster had climbed out from the center. When I was editing the photo, Holy crap~ the was another lobster beside! We never noticed! Take a good look! Different colour. I am guessing it's the offspring of the bigger one, but just guessing.
Flat worm. Very cute.
Tiny nudibranch. I like to take tiny nudi photos but camera always focus on the wrong thing.
Surface interval time.
Laura and me.
This, is a nudibranch that I have not seen before. It looks like a dragon, doesn't it? But it swims like a fish!! It's true! This nudi reminds me of the "gay mandarine fish" in Sipadan which was attracted to Andy. This nudi started to swim after I took a couple of photos and it swam towards me! And as it swims like a fish, it was rather fast compare to other nudibranch. It kept swimming towards me and it was so fast, I couldn't get Gab's attention in time. I was afraid that if it sticks to me, I might hurt it. In the end it reappeared, I don't know exactly where but somewhere around me....
Again, somehow the water becomes blue like Tioman.. instead of yellow and green. So disappointed this photo was not really in focus. But then the nudi's head faced the other way. But I like the background. George and Tiff saw this nudi as well.
Ohhh I was soooo happy to see whip coral shrimp in Spore water~! Never expected that. It's only about the width of the pointer!
Too bad something wrong with Andy's DSLR. Else we would have impressive photos of the "dragon" nudi and this shrimp.
There were 2 nudi in this photo. Can you spot it?

p.s. Below is some interesting thing that I feel like putting here. Not what I saw in the wild (I
wish!)
wish!)
I went to the zoo lately. Trying to find sea lions but we saw no sea lions. The place that used to be sea lions performance place had become manatee's home! They are soooooo darn cute!
I supposed this is still a baby. So nice and lucky that it came near the glass. There was a fence there so I wasn't able to go nearer to take photo to eliminate the reflection.
Check this out. They were really really playful~ Kept hugging each other. Really hugging each other oh~ so heart warming to see~ I wanna hug them toO!!!
Go to the zoo to see them!
I am sorry, I am really bad but that guy rrreally has a frogfish's mouth...
