Tioman April 08

Trip to Tioman : 26-27th April. One word to summarise our trip : rewarding!

Fantastic trip~ We did only one dive on Saturday, which we normal do 2 dives. The surge in the ocean was horrible............. The climate, weather now is really going crazy. There's usually no surge/swell at this time, but... it's so bad, we had a hard time trying to get a good focus in our photos. We don't really have a lot of fantastic photos this trip but guess what, we did only 3 dives in the 2 days we're there, and we've saw 13 different types of nudibranchs! Check this out!






Amazing right?~~~

I do not have the names though as I don't have nudibranch reference book.

It was such a great trip~ We saw sharks, barracudas, and cuttlefish mating~ and it was caught on film~! Check this out~!

And we've had so many "first time" in this trip :

-first time change driver on the way to Mersing
-first time we have a female driver
-first time we saw such bbbeautiful sun rise on the way to Mersing (haven't been able to access Alex's photos to post it here)
-first time the driver join us in breakfast makan roti prata
-first time we dive only once on Saturday
-first time we saw so many nudibranchs
-first time we saw cuttlefish mating (at least for me) and had it filmed
-first time we "celebrated" birthday without the presence of the birthday boy
hahahah..... soooo many first time right?

We recorded us singing happy birthday to Philip but it's in Alex's SD card and my card reader can't read it. So..... will have to wait before I got it and upload it to show to Philip, the birthday boy.
