Where ya?

Flushing down current or just pull u down...?!

Just pull.... i drop deeper couple ft only but was kicking upwards to counter....

Got rescue Diver and dmt diver surrounding me.... i lagi feel safe....

erm.... I dunno wat's the same of that place... it's 4 hours boat ride from Koh Lanta.... middle of no where... open sea... dun see any land/island..... go there see mantas and giant marble groupers

must be koh bon or koh tachai ... near to Similan islands or Surin Islands

Manta rays usually spotted in Koh Bon and Koh Tachai. What to do!? These giants love to swim in those type of currents...

It's straightforward like learning how to ride a bike. But you wouldn't wanna go riding on muddy jungle tracks or city roads at night, until you get some experience and skills in easier conditions.

I got a chance to feel the vibrating hose - surfaced up the wrong buoy and the boat there towed me back to my boat Woke up with sore arms the next day too, from holding on to the jesus rope.

Crazy

I saw a trip report from Jun 2016... "water was maybe around 26-28 but 10 degrees less in the thermoclines which could last half a dive"

Yeah if there's 7 students / 1 instructor, there will be less attention given compared to 7 students / 3 instructors. OR everyone waits around for a long time for their turn.

In case of emergency find the gorilla and hold on to it...

both rescue and dmt are on gorilla......

1m = ascend 50m... It's quite lucky they didnt end up in hyperbaric chambers. Anyway, it happens in the begining of the dive so still ok. But tat was crazily dangerous!


Usually around this season, temp shud be around 23-25'C. But it doesnt this round...
And spotted many white coral. Bleached corals across the islands. I m guess global warming pretty serious this time!

Grabs them!!!

Grab on the white one. Its a seawing! it would give you wings like a Manta~~

September got 2 long weekends back to back...3 days leave = 9 days off
But I have two non-diving trips planned in September, probably will get a day of compressed air fix during my stopover at KK.

Max 4 pax 1 instructor. But my OWD is only my instructor and me only. No group.

Yeah, will probably aim for that. I have 15 days leave left but already book 13 days for my year end trip hence why I'm a bit screwed on the leave part.

Got rescue diver with >10 years experience better than dmt >2 years

Hahaha. Got orange gorilla only. White one monkey only

Then I'll grab the gorilla alsooo.

which is preferred...taking bus or driving...from KL to mersing?
at this moment, the bus schedule will be arriving way earlier than ferry depart.

is there safe place to park car there?

What time is the ferry?
If you are willing to drive than no problem. There are a few cheap parking places near the. I think RM10 per day or something.
I've taken the bus there and by the time we walked to the jetty and purchased the tickets the ferry was ready to depart.
