Have stopped diving for more than a year! And yes, finally we gals managed to go diving at Perhantian this may!! So excited about it!! Took a half day leave to pack up and get ready to go!!
The bus journey was long but definitely worth the trip! But maybe to Adrain and Daniel, it was too "bright" a trip cos they were sitting right in front of the coach, just behind the driver and got blinded by the headlights of the oncoming cars! hahaha... Poor thing, Adrain still need to sleep in his sunglasses! So cool! hahaha....As usual, the bus is freezing cold but everyone survived!
The boat ride to the beach made me more and more excited! This means that we are diving real soon! Although we did not dive on the first day, we went to explore the place and even went jungle trekking!
Dun be mistaken, is not really a jungle lar! haha... most memorable part of the trekking is the big fat mozzies, and the big, fat, smelly SHIT in the middle of the path!! haha... From far, already can smell it man! But after passing that shit, the path led us to a very nice beach! We were so excited to jump into the water to snorkel that HN n nee went back to get the masks and fins for us! hahaha.... In the end, it was too hot for me to go down n join them.
This is the chalet we stayed in, kind of run down n dirty. When I saw the condition of the room, I thought to myself that I will meditate for the whole night and dare not sleep on the bed! But in the end, I slept like a pig every night! hahaha....
Yes!! first dive of the trip!! So excited!! Was already very excited about it when we started trying out the sizes of the wet suit, getting the fins and bc the previous day. But this time we are really going out to the sea n dive! hahaha....Now come to think of it, I almost forget wat I saw in each dive but each dive is really awesome although the visibility was not too good at that period. But I guess all of us enjoyed each individual dive! Oh, I did a stupid mistake during one of the dives. I actually forgot my weight belt!! Ayooii, and it was i think the 7th dive of the trip! How can I still forget my weight belt!! haha...
One new thing creature I learnt from this trip. Is the nudibranch. I realised that it a kind of sea slug. They are so beautiful!
Oh yah, dun forget our star gazing session after dinner every night! Felt so great when everyone of us lie down together (in the middle of the beach blocking the way!) and count the numbers of shooting stars!一个人看到不算! hahaha.... And our synchronized swimming! Oh my god! Think the passers-by must be thinking that we are crazy! And our "night diving"! hahaha.... saw 手臂大, nemo, shrimps, crabs and lots of small fishes swimming.
The whole trip was memorable. I guess is even more memorable for Adrain and Daniel as it will be their last dive trip before NS.
