whoa!!! just came back from the tioman trip yesterday midnight.. shiok sia!! scuba diving is damn fun!!

On tuesday we went to raymond's place and then settle all the equipments.. After that we hang around for a while waiting for the mini bus to come.. The whole journey took us a few hours la.. i didn't know tioman is so far from malaysia mainland.. wa sei.. at first we went to perling to pick one guy up (also coming with us to sb dive) and for dinner too.. That took us about 1 hour plus.. then went to mersing for the diving boat.. that took us 2 hours.. then take the dive boat to tioman.. It took us 4 hours la!! reach tioman at around 3 am.. that time abit blur liao.. half awake half sleeping.. then went to the resort to sleep.. initially raymond told us to wake up at 7.45 but we all woke up at 8.30..haha.. raymond more zai.. we finished breakfast liao he haven wake up.. dots..

then blah blah blah we went for our first dive.. first dive quite sian.. did the same thing as during confined water.. remove replace mask all that..we dive very near the jetty.. 6+m.. luckily i can equalize( equalize means to use your index finger and thumb to hold your nose, shut your mouth tight and then blow air from your nose..then your ears will have a pop sound.. Why must equalize? because there are air spaces in your ears.. when you dive and go deeper, the pressure of the water outside is higher than the pressure in your ears.. so you will need to add pressure to your ears to equalize.. If not you will experience a sharp pain known as squeeze, just like those you experience when you take plane..)
Damn cold la.. stand down there and do demonstration..

2nd dive also quite sian..same place... but at least raymond took us under the jetty and see some nice fishes.. Before that we did some navigation underwater... have to use a compass..

3rd dive.. Woah!! exciting sia.. this time is 18 m.. we get to do free descent instead of holding onto a line and pull ourself down.. shiok sia.. at first a bit hong gan.. i go down halfway cannot equalise.. block nose.. very hard to equalise.. so have to do the regime.. go up higher and try again and again.. lucky in the end can.. very pain one leh.. cannot suka suka.. if never equalize and geikiang your ear will spoil.. alot of fishes sia..( fei hua.. sea of course a lot of fishes la.. excuse me.. i still very excited) We went around and then took picture.. saw a sunken boat.. took a lot of photos..

4th dive.. This is the best dive man.. after the third dive we resurface, do surface interval then go to another site.. This site is near a very small island.. Raymond told us we will be diving along the circumference of the island.. this time the current quite big.. have to descent quickly.. if not will kena carried away by the current.. this site damn nice.. water is damn clear.. alot of stuff to see.. saw a turtle and a fxxking huge fish.. saw a blue spotted stingray and nemo all that.. raymond said a small shark was following him for a while.. but i din see leh..wasted.. stayed underwater for around 40+min then do the 5 m 3min interval then resurface le...

sb diving is a brand new experience for me man.. damn exciting and fun..go and try.. really.. haha.. suddenly remember the navy advertisement.. "If your life was a movie, would it be a good one?"
