Scuba Diving @ Redang Island

After the refreshment from the pool session before, here comes the real action. As usual i planned a 4 days 3 nights trip to Redang Island and this time i was so glad to dive with one of my long lost friend and now become the dive buddy of mine.  We took the last bus from Bukit Jalil terminal and heading to Kuala Terengganu. The journey was sucks, bus took off late, not comfy enough and took us 7 and half hours to arrive.  But it didn't bother us too much as the diving spirit was burning inside us.... LOL. 

Well, Arrived at the Merang jetty around 9 something, took a stroll for a little while and later we board the boat heading to the island. I was excited enough because i got my newly bought underwater camera and gonna try it out soon. And this was my main purpose that hopefully to horn my skills taking underwater pictures.  

After lunch, we did our check out dive at the house reef, i can't wait to bring along my camera with me.  i was so disappointed with the pictures on our first dive, i can't get the white balance correct, don't know how to position the strobe, was so frustrated with it.  Later that night, i asked for tips on how to get the white balance correct from the dive centre instructor, and he was so helpful and kind enough to teach me lot of things.  I can still remember he was kind enough asking me to to get a buddy and dive on our own to practice my underwater photography skill. Honestly this was my first time diving without a dive master or instructor with me and my buddy. 

Second and the third  day, i managed to improve a little compared to the first day production. I had to say this trip was so glad as i got few of my buddies busy looking for subject for me to snap. Nudibranch aka sea slug, eel, turtle was mostly my subject, we were so lucky as we kept seeing turtle and lots of nudi at most of the dive sites. Some pictures below taken by me.

Not forget to mention about the sea life we saw this time was so memorable as school of bump head fish, squids (check out dive), very rare of stripe barracuda, eagle rays were spotted by us as well, kinda large black tip sharks, jacks, diamond fish and lost of things.  

I can only said this was definitely a fantastic trip for me and make me into scuba diving even more.

I wanna thanks to my buddy especially Sean, kevin, and David as they are so helpful and the kindness of instructor Ah Shir!
