Finally able to go undersea after years of being in the pool. tongue.gif

Went to Red-ang. Dint scuba dive though, only snorkeling. Lots of fishes, baby fishes. Was expecting bigger ones but afraid it might eat me. laugh.gif
Jellyfish scared the crap out of me, not sure whether it did sting me or just fishes bit me. unsure.gif

First time using the snorkeling mask gear. Turns out not so bad as expected. But had slight trouble letting air out coz normally just let air out through nose while wearing goggle.

I am more to freediving, but still a beginner. biggrin.gif

Got jellyfish season there? Otherwise, shouldn't have any issues with jellyfish.

Big fishes don't really eat you. The ones that you should be afraid of is the Titan Triggerfish. And a lot of small fishes can be quite aggressive too, like nemo clown fish or some white color gangster fish that bite me and made me bleed in Tenggol few months ago. It was hardly 4" long.

If you're interested in freediving, there is a proper course for it where they will teach you the correct techniques on how to freedive. Check out AIDA freediving courses.

Go youtube titan triggerfish attacks and see. laugh.gif A lot of snorkelers don't know how scary that fish is.

I also dunno what is it called. One of those small fishes la. I just call them gangster fish. But those fishes attack also nothing wan la. You'll just get some scratches only.

Plane one hour flight only la. laugh.gif Only place you can snorkel in west coast is Langkawi.

As for triggerfish, it's not always aggressive, but can be when it's protecting it's territory. And it's territory is an inverted cone shape, so even if you are on the surface of the water like most snorkelers are, it'll still attack you.

Pewww Langkawi so far up. sweat.gif

Pangkor acceptable or not? Havent been there yet.
Or will it be very boring with small fishes and few species only? hmm.gif
