Dive 3: Batu Layar

Our second dive for the day is Batu Layar .. it's somewhere in the middle between Perhentian Besar and Perhentian Kecil .. it's a lovely place with thousands of fish .. which I adore so much.. and we get the chance to dive with Mr Turtle .. 

Dept: 8 - 18m

Vis : 8-10m (quite good for February season)

Some info I got from the internet:

Located on the west coast of Perhentian Besar, "Batu Layar" (Sail Rock) is a submerged reef with a huge staghorn coral field in prefect condition and massive table corals, making it one of the best hard corals site in the Perhentian's.   
Doing diving in the beginning, it's kind of nervous because you don't know what down there.. I used to have this feelings like what people always said "butterflies in your tummy"... but once you get used to it, you stop thinking about the unknown and enjoying the beautiful creatures instead .. that's what I really love about diving.. exploring new beautiful things every dive.. 

some of the hard corals .. i will improve my camera settings, i promise!!! :)

Myself and Midd .. we look like fish too.. hahahaha

I LOVE DIVING!!! wuhuuuuu

Dive 2: Terumbu Tiga (T3)

This is my second time diving at Terumbu Tiga.. I was there last year, October .. the visibility (vis) was not too good either due to monsoon.. but i was told that T3 was very beautiful in May- June.. I can agree with that because although the vis was not so good, we can still see the beauty of this diving site..

Terumbu Tiga also known as Tiger Rock consist of 3 big rocks that you can see above the sea level .. down below, it has more rocks with beautiful life creatures.. you can find lots of small creatures like nudie, shrimp as well as soft corals .. as they are small, you just need to look really careful .. and be extra careful not to ruin the corals .. look where you're going as well...

and of course, lots of nemo in Perhentian

Some actions by friend :)

Just a comment I would like to leave before I end this blog, if you're a diver, please please don't touch the fish or corals .. you might ruin or disturb its habitat .. just view, take photos and enjoy the moment.. :)

Oh ya, before I forgot, I had a chance to meet the owner's son of Flora Bay Resort, Mat Yie. The reason why I want to mention him here, other that his sweet face, is because of his talent in underwater photography.. he showed us his masterpiece and tears almost came out from my eyes (biasa la kan, dalam hati ada taman), admiring his work ..
