Mabul - Sipadan, 3 - 8 February 2011 (Day 3 & 4)

Day 3

Spent practially the whole day diving. Completing my open water dive course. Did 3 dives today doing some skills which I myself not sure why I have to learn e.g. removing & putting on scuba gears on water surface, removing & attaching weights, and the scariest to me, removing and putting on the scuba gear under 18m of water! But I did completed all of the skills test

But managed to capture some nice sunset shots at the end of the day

More sunset shot

View at dusk. The transition time between night & day. Nice!

Another view

Day 4

I completed my open water course! Done the tests the night before and passed! So did my first dive together with Anis around Mabul

Underwater shots using our Canon S95 + underwater casing. It's so hard to take pics underwater! You keep on moving up & down in the water. That's a giant morey eel by the way

Black spotted morey eel. Nice huh?

The ever popular 'Nemo' fish

Our guide, being surprised by a huge turtle from behind

Can't remember what's this. Just underneath our homestay actually

Underwater plant. A very pretty sight down there

A school of fish

More underwater plant

Later in the day, spent some time walking around the island and explore more of the village. These are children of Mabul. They're all seems so happy even with such comparatively poor living condition. Makes us think for a while, how lucky we are eh? BTW, they are always happy to pose for you!

See what I mean? Hehehe

In the evening, the children are all out doing physical activities. Unlike pampered children in the big cities. Busy with playstation & Facebook. And grow soft in the process

Anis & children of Mabul. Check out their pose

Fish anyone? RM2 only

We found this nice jetty with the beautiful sunset light. So, portrait time!
Anis & me. The camera placed on the floor hehehe
On the way back. Anis & chicken wing are inseperable

See this? Black one is soy sauce, yellow one is cooking oil, etc.. etc.. They repack stuff in smaller package to be sold at 20 cent. To cater for demand. Very creative
