dive 01

telok mariam, pulau aur

our instructor kay yaw gave us a briefing on the ferry roof deck before we proceed to gear-up. gosh, the equipment is really heavy and we made our giant stride entry into the waters with much relief.

kl buddy up with ky while i buddied with doris. we covered most of the drills like mask clearing, removal & replacement, weight belt ditch & don, scuba unit removal & replacement and buoyancy control at a depth of around 7 metres.

visibility was good and we could see as far as 12 metres all around.

we spent almost an hour below and had time to explore a bit. saw clown fishes & sea anemone, magenta sea cucumber and bright orange christmas tree worms.

the abundant underwater life was awe-inspiring.
