Divers log day 2 Sipadan Seaventures

Lying in the sun with a cuppa tea, sudoku and my favourite pieces from POTO and spirit soundtrack.

This is what I came here for.

Just a bit'a updates frm yesterday.

1. Did 4 dives eventually. Morn 3, night 1.
2. Visibility was bad from the 3rd dive onwards n storm seems to be coming this way. Hence the decision to cancel the afternoon dives.
3. Good first and 2nd dives. Saw lotsa bumpheads, baracudas, jacks, sharks, turtles.
4. Third dive terrible. Nothing but dead corals. Visibility round 5m?
5. Planktons were hypnotic.
6. Hit by choppy waves upon ascend. Group of us got separated from the rest. Had a hard time paddling to boat. Gave up. Boat turned aroud to pick us.
7. Good lunch. Fell asleep in the middle of a thunderstorm. 2-3hrs. Helped catch up with lack of zzz.
8. Woke up, psyched and geared for unguided dive at house reef under oil rig.
9. Not much luck with fishes. Spotted a huge hermit crab and lotsa old rubbish like bottles, cloth AND A SANITARY PAD.
10. like WTF. Derrick picked it up. Laughing spasm in the sea.
11. Derrick spotted a rare fish... Or smth. Gave chase. The blind followed the blind. ie, we ALL gave chase.
12.Cindy notices that corals were suddenly nicer and ground was getting sandy-er. As if we were nearing shore.
13. Initiated an ascend.
14. In the night, surfacing is so cool because everyone hurdles together due to lack of light. Simultaneous ascend.
15. Realized we were at the wrong side and off the oil rig! Towards mabul island.
16. Slowly paddled back. Went under oil rig's showering area to get to the lift. Someone suddenly showered. Water started trickling down towards us!!
17. BBQ dinner!
18. Showered.
19. Received a phone call. HEE.
20. Played a new games called Phase 10 till 1am.
21. Slept at 2.45.
22. Up by 4.
23. I should do this more often.
24. If we get amazed at the school of fishes, do you think they feel the same when they see a school of divers n how unsynchronized our groups are compared to theirs?
25. I have the fastest growing kah moh in the world.
26. Diving back to regular. Getting a better hang of it. Cindy good help with guiding underwaters.
27. Note to self: no dive trips's too expensive.
28. Wondered every now and then if she preferred time spent with him, if things will change, if I would want it to change, if it bothers me now that I'm away, if I really trust her or I'm making myself trust her.
29. No conclusion to many.
30. Definitely still thinking of you.

I'm liking it here folks!
