Saturday...
Today is the D-Day for the Wreck Specialty students....today they have to do wreck penetration....which is the most difficult task to do in taking the course.
The wreck they are gonna penetrate is Sugar Wreck. Rt will set a route for them...which he will mark by using his reel. Then the students will have to follow the reel and penetrate the wreck. Those who fail to complete this task will fail the course.
Our 1st dive for today is Tokong Laut....or also known as Temple of The Sea to the average mat salleh. This is a very nice dive site....made out of a huge rock pinacle which rise up of the sea. The peak of the pinacle is about 3 metres above sea level.
There are many rock rumble at the bottom of the pinacle....creating a lot of small cracks and crevics. Reef sharks like nurse and bamboo sharks like to hide among the cracks. I caught a video of a nurse shark hiding in the crack. Also white eye morays loves this areas too.
Visibility is superb....though current is quite strong on one side of the pinacle. We are limited to half of the pinacle to explore only....to avoid from fighting the current. There are some other divers in this site also. I did not do any dive leading this time....so its a FUN dive for me...yahoooooo.
Next is the D-Day dive for the Wreck Specialty students. Our dive is to Sugar Wreck and we are doing penetration. Since there are so many students on this trip, the group are split into 2. I will lead 3 divers to see the propeller and rudder at the stern of the wreck...and RT will lead the other 4 to the wreck entry while he set the reel for the path.
Some students got lost while devending...hence delaying the setting up for the reel...haihzzzz. The while penetrating...someone accidently snap the reel line, only 2 students make it to complete the wreck penetration. On our way back to the resort....RT is thinking how to do penetration for the rest of the students. His reel also is much shorter now.
Finally our last dive is at Terumbu Tiga. There are a lot of rock crevices in this area which is big enuf to penetrate...hence the rest of the students who did not do the penetration in Sugar Wreck will do it here. I am leading Sim for fun dive here and we are looking for Nudi Branch. Vis is very very bad....ard 3 metres only and I imagine I am looking for nudi branch. Search high and low, found many normal nudi branch. Finally reaching the end of the dive....manage to spot a very nice nudi...happy ah Sim.
Lastly at nite....me, RT, yvonne, josh and eddie went rto the chinese restaurant next to Watercolour Resort for dinner. The rest went to Long Beach for partying. After dinner...we went for a walk at PIR (Perhentian Island Resort).....very nice and expensive resort.
End my day with doing my logbook in my room and sleep of early. Its the end of the whole trip...and I did 7 dives in total. Total expenses for my whole trip is roughly ard RM 650....kira ok lah. Nice trip...especially when diving in Fish Heaven...a must go dive site :)
