Scuba Dive at Pulau Perhentian, 20-23 Mar 08

A long weekend enticed us to endure the supposed 10 hour bus ride up to Terengganu... but the heightened security checks and a lost bus driver lengthened the ride to almost 13 hours!

We thought the diving would be perfect, but alas there was the indomitable Lion Dancer aka Sandstorm Trooper! But that was the topic of the trip and this trip will forever be remembered by it.

Diving at Perhentian was nice (on the second day) and we would return to the island some time in the future... if only for the dive sites Tokong Laut and Sugar Wreck.

Scuba Dive at Pulau Aur, 7-9 Mar 08

Realised i haven't updated on our first dive of the 2008 dive season!

We went to Pulau Aur on the opening weekend of the 2008 dive season, where the waters were choppy and seasickness visited some divers... but it was well worth it for our first taste of nitrogen for the year (at least for me)!

Congratulations also to the 9 Open Water Divers attained their qualifications! Not forgetting my very first Nitrox dives with with Nitrox32 and Nitrox 40; an enriching experience! Haha!

Here's the photos you've been waiting for...
