Well, I can’t wait to get back underwater. So before I go back to my favourite realm, I just want to take a trip down memory lane:
Performing safety stop with Nizar and Mior at the Vietnamese Wreck, Perhentian – March 2005
This was my first underwater shot using my (then) newly-purchased Nikon Coolpix 4200, Redang – May 2005
This was Port Dickson at its best – a dive off Blue Lagoon – June 2005
This was taken by Andy Lim at Tukun Laut, Perhentian in July 2005. Still one of the best trips ever.
This was taken during surface interval at Pasir Panjang, Pulau Tulai – September 2005
Exactly a week later, I took my daughters Hana and Iqa to Tioman and they did their first night dive at Pulau Labas – September 2005

Two months later, I was diving Koh Lipe in Thailand – January 2006

12 days later I was in Perhentian before the season ended – September 2006
Two months later, we forced a dive center in Tioman to open up for us because we wanted to do some monsoon diving – and it was stormy but still good – November 2006
Two weeks later, in the middle of the monsoon, I was at Pulau Bidong doing video shots of the underwater gallery – November 2006
Two months later we were missing the sea water again, so a group of us went to dive Port Dickson again – January 2007
A month later, we went on Kaleebso’s penultimate trip to Pulau Jarak – February 2007
A month later, monsoon was still in full force but the four of us returned to Perhentian. There was a lot of rubbish underwater and I got this nice photo of a floating underwear – March 2007
