Friday...
Totally rested after a good 8+ hours sleep. Bangun pagi n Paul already awake d too. Brush my gigi n makan the roti I bought (save cost) for breakfast...and I am ready to go diving for today.
1st dive for today is a secret dive site call Fish Heaven. Its so secretive that the buoy is tied 5 metres underwater to avoid other people knowing this site....now I know people do tie bouy underwater. We search for the dive site via GPS and when we are ard the area, the DM will dive into the sea n search for the submerged buoy. Then he/she will surface with the rope tying the buoy...to tie it to the boat.
The dive site is very far from Perhentian...roughly ard 40 mins boat ride. It is actually nearer to Lang Tengah. Was thinking of searching for this site next time n mark it on RT's GPS....then can make it a new 'secret' dive site d.
The dive site is a sunken barge....sunken bout quite some time d, hence become a sanctuary for fishes. While decending, we saw a school of bat fish near the buoy line. Then as we look down....school and school of yellow fussilers and hundreds of damsel fish greets us. We could hardly spot the wreck...its totally covered with fishes. When we are about 5m from the wreck....we can see it. The structure of the wreck is still intact...with some holes on the side, suitable for penetration. Big fishes (puffers, barracudas, snappers) can be seen circling the wreck....hunting for food. Overall this is a superb dive site....a must see.
Our next dive is to Sugar Wreck....the wreck students will have some assignments to do there. The students are split into 2 groups consist of 3 and 4 students each. I am leading 4 students on this dive. Vis is not very clear....hence I lead the students very close to the wreck. We did some simple penetration.....and saw a school of huge (bout 6 feet long) barracudas. Ended the dive by spotting a bamboo shark at the back of the wreck.
After Sugar Wreck.....next dive is Vietnamese Wreck. The current is quite strong on this site. Yvonne is so silly to jump into the water without wearing her fins...haihzzzz....sometimes wanna be "gung-ho" also must see conditions mah. This time ard I lead 3 students while RT lead the other 4. Did some simple penetration....but bit difficult coz the current is so strong. Saw many nice nice soft corals....so colourful.
End the day with a nice dinner and relaxing by the beach. Chart my logs.....and then I'm ready for bed. Got another bz diving day tomorow....hence need the rest.

Eh! I didn't know the current was present ok. Anyway, the swim back to the boat with my bootie but without fins was a terrible struggle. Phew... nightmare
