This is a video taken by Adik. I am seen here testing a DPV (Diver Propulsion Vehicle) for a company and I am supposed to provide a technical write-up for it. Oh, you should be able to see Hazyr somewhere in the background in white top some 14 seconds before the end of the video. She was going to work across the road and came to join us all for lunch.
More Sipadan Pics – Part 11 (Goodbye)
After 6 days, it is time to leave reality and face nightmare again. Sad fact of life.

More Sipadan Pics – Part 10 (Beach Full Moon Party)
Celebes Safari culminated in a dinner cum full moon beach party. Certificates of participation and support were handed over to representatives of the various organisations that supported the event. I represented MUW. Our very own Blackbear a.k.a DJ Cva Quma rocked the house that night. However, as Mabulians sleep very early, the party ended at 11.30pm…just as KLites were out having roti canai before adjourning to Zouk and the likes (wow…I can’t even name name of clubs in KL). Here are some of the pics taken:

More Sipadan Pics – Part 9 (Project AWARE)
On the 4th day, we organised a kampung and beach clean-up with the local school kids (well, not many of them actually go to school), the kampung security and development committee (JKKK) and the mosque committee. The turn-up was good and overwhelming. At the end of the do, the resort provided free food and drinks for the participants.

Mabul’s children came out in full force for Project AWARE

These kids make me so proud of them

A bad dive anyday is better than being snubbed by the woman who says she loves you so much…
I’ll Never Neglect A Sea Cucumber Anymore
Unlike how women neglect me…
Remember how uninteresting sea cucumbers are? Well, not anymore. Not for me. There are super macro stuff on them. These are shots I took at Kapalai:

Even this macro stuff looks big now:D

All on one sea cucumber…of course after that I got lost as I was alone…and decided to surface after my dive computer beeped an alarm and I could hear people speaking Tagalog (I must have been real far from the others 😀 )
