The star of the trip~ Manta~!!! This is from Gab's camera. I was so caught in surprise, as we saw the manta 2minutes into that dive... and the manta went off quite fast. Vis wasn't good. My first time seeing a manta~! happy ~ :D
Guy.. saw a manta? happy face? hahahaha...
2nd star of the trip~ turtle! They were so friendly. This one kept coming back for more watermelon, even longgg after we ran out of it. Everybody got to touch it and it wasn't annoyed by us at all! Amazing! Guy and Alex jumped in the sea and played with it till they were tired.
There was another turtle came asking for food on another day! Amazing!
Everybody marvelled at the turtle.
Lots and lots of moray eels in Similan.
Why were we always made to swim for long distance? When we were on MV Grace, we had such a longgg distance surface swim, I thought that was the last. Then at Sipadan, long surface swim and also long swim to find the reef.... I thought that was the last. And now this is the best, swam 20minutes, a full 20minutes to see this stupid wreck! Swam at 20m deep! When we reached there, I never bother to see the deeper part of the wreck at all. Everybody was cursing underwater..... man... i hope this is the last.
Similan has this pretty, soft looking sea grass. Very nice~
This is from Gab's camera. Similan has lots and lots of lion fish as well.
Don't you just feel like giving the rock a push? hahahahah....
Someone pushed Andy into the sea when we were still playing with the turtle. hahaha...
Gabriel shooting video.
The turtle was still around when we ran out of fruits for it.
Alex and Andy trying to pull Tiffany into the sea! Too bad I didn't manage to get Tiff into the pic. hahaha!
Gabriel, army man's habit? hehe.
Similan's sunset.
BIG BIG lobsters!
First time I got to see so many octopus~ happy!
I thought I was the only one who took a photo of this one-tooth-less triggerfish. Turned out that everybody has the same shot and almost exactly the same pose! hahaha.... First time I was this close to a trigger fish. I will never do this in Tioman.
Super big crab~!!
Gab called this "kuku-diver". hahaha.. The "cowboy" diver. I was totally stunted when I saw him!
The act-macho-wearing-only-swimming-trunk diver. The water was cold, man. Lots of thermocline. And we think he was cold. Serves him right for trying to be macho! wahahahahaha...
And pink diver!!! George and Tiff saw "zebra diver"!! A diver with a black and white horizontal stripes wetsuit!!!! Can you imagine that??? Too bad I didn't see him else I sure follow him and take a photo.
Hawkfish always make good picture.
Don't you just wanna lay in the grass with the stonefish? It looked soooo comfortable. Well, on second thought, you DON'T wanna lay beside a stonefish. hehe.
Chill out at night.
Alex secretly drew a birthday "board" (not card) for Andy.
Party time, eh?
Birthday boy~ It's one week earlier, but doesn't matter~
Happy Birthday Andy~
Last day before leaving.
Me and our guide Alain. He's from Belgium. He came to Phuket 2 years ago for holiday instead of California as his father strongly suggested Phuket. And he decided to stay~! Good choice Alain! Good choice!
Everybody~~! From left, Guy, Winnie, Freddie, Laura, Tiffany, George, me, Doreen, Philip, Andy, Gabriel, Alex and Alain.
Our boat, Moskito~
A 5 day trip, gone. Looking foward to Tioman diving when season open~p.s. I will be editing video for the trip and burn into CD. Hope it'll be good~!
