Pulau Perhentian

Well, I for once got burnt on this trip. I seldom get sunburnt but this time I did – tanks to the poor management of the dive centre, Watercolours. They had some good Divemaster with probably my best debriefing ever by Mike.

The swells were high and there was strong currents on many of the dives. The wrecks were beautiful but personally there were more colours and marine life in Redang. It was the smallest boat I have ever dived off from and had to literally crawl into the boat – a good experience though.

The boat I spoke about

Nudibranch

Yellow boxfish

You take amazing photos! I love the undersea creatures for just such things that your pictures highlight- what beautiful, incredible creatures.

i like the pics of the “exploring creatures” too

Nice colours! Never heard, let alone, seen a box fish. must show the kids!

You are lucky to be able to view beautiful creations under the sea. I shudder to think of whether our kids(and their kids) will be able to enjoy this beauty.

Now that was a spectacular dive! It seemed like I just took a dive with you! The photos are so awesome! Such a colourful marine underworld! No wonder you can go diving, trip after trip. I would do that too if I could.

Nice picture George. Now I am tempted to buy the same equiptment that you have. But on second thought, nah…. The government doesn’t pay theier surgoen well enough.

hey guys thanks

Kurt waiting to dive with you soon

Yoong the trip we went was expensive. I know of most who dive in PP with a package of less than RM700 with better dive management. The guys that go diving there spends a package of less than RM 600
