Early Dive

Today's dive was scheduled to an hour earlier 'coz one of the divers, Caryn, had to rush back to a work meeting at 2pm. This is what we called HARD CORE DIVER hehe :P

First dive at the Oil Rig wreck and reef, water visibility was very good! An oil platform which was placed strategically (or sunk) on the seabed to foster marine life (i think! not quite sure of its history).
























On the way from the wreck site to the reef, we saw clams and baby shrimps on the sand patch.























At the reef...







Giant Lobster











Playing with the clownfish







Next, we decided to do a dive close to the shore 'coz we were running late. On the way there, we discovered a reef site (thanks to the good water visibility). The boat driver wanted to record it in his GPS as a reef dive site so we brainstormed for names. One thing lead to another, we finally agreed to name it after our initials. Caryn, Lawrence, Emily, Azli, Ricky...and BINGO...CLEAR reef! Our newly discovered site ;)

Second dive at another site wasn't as good. We couldn't see much underwater...max 3m. Nevertheless, still an enjoyable dive experience.
