Greetings from Tekek, in Tioman. Although this resort actually has LAN connection via wifi, I’m using GPRS to connect.
The drive was nice and easy, did 110km/h all the way to Air Hitam. I left KL at 11.45pm and got to Mersing at 4.15am (plus an hour roti canai break). I managed to get around 1.5 hours worth of sleep before taking a shower and making my way to the jetty.
Anyway, I did three dives. First dive was at Tiger Reef, second was at Pirate Reef, followed by one at Soyak Reef. Monsoon is already here. The waves were big initially but was flat calm after a storm. However, you can feel the surge even down at 24m. Visibility ranged between 8m-15m. Not too bad at all.
So, what did I see? A Blacktip Reef Shark, several huge Reef and Broadclub Cuttlefishes, huge Chevron Barracudas, Bumphead.Parrotfishes. The shallower of the two wrecks at Soyak’s falling apart. That’s the bad thing about sinking wooden ships as artificial reefs. Tomorrow we’ll be doing Chebeh island first and I expect thunderstorm again late morning or afternoon.
Thank you to Kay for taking time to read my blog: do leave comments as you do.
I shall write again after tomorrow’ dives.
