Lobster Wall, Mabul. Taken with S95.
No chio camera to snap awesome macro pics.

Paid around RM19xx for 5D4N, matta fair price, Borneo Divers, unlimited house reef dive (including sunset and night dives) as usual, 50% off equipment rental and 1st boat night dive, also included 1 day permit fee to Sipadan. It's my 2nd stay with them and I quite like their service.

Didn't see any pygmy seahorse at Seaventures. Lots of nudibranches and ribbon eel there though.

@imran85 : Nice shot

Cool bro.. Ornate ghost pipefish right..? Its hard la to find those cretures in peninsular malaysia.. Zzz

Hows Tulamben..? Did you encounter strong current..? Did you go to US Liberty ship wreck..?

Actually there's a lot of resort, try google map.
A lot of dive spot in Lombok
