Bad Start…

Davy Jones' Locker

It has been a bad start for 2006. First was Laurence Thong’s passing at Jarak. Then a diver passed away near Johor Baru. Then another diver passed on in Sarawak. Not long after, another one, an experienced instructor in Tioman. Then a Divemaster Trainee got himself injured by a boat’s props. Today, another bad news. Between one to two Discover Scuba Diving students died at Redang.

I’m still waiting for full report on these deaths (or death).

Nevertheless, it has been a bad start.

Little Guys Like To Pick Fights

At Little Reef of T3

I saw some rocks as I lie on my tummy in 13m of sea water..then saw little eye stalks appearing from these rocks. Then one rock crawled towards my camera. I turned on the macro shot function and focused on this little thing that looked like it wanted a fight with me. It came so close that the flash illuminated the sand behind it as it was lower than the flash’s position.
