Mabul-Kapalai

1) We stayed at a strategic located oil rig diving platform(left) next to Mabul Island(famous for its richness in micro marine lives - mandarin fish, sea horse, frog fish, crocodile fish, mantis shrimp, blue ring octopus etc)

2) The old faithful Yellow Edge Moray Eel at Mabul detected during one of the night dive. Thanks to a "S" lady diving partner that always tried to be #1 rushing to the "spot" and creating messy bubbles scene.


3) An ultra vibration-sensitive Christmas Worm

4) Pipe fish (Oops! What an imperfection shot under strong turbulent water)

5) Puffer fish

6) Vertically positioned Razor fish

7) Kapalai - We stayed 3 nights on this submerged sandbank in the middle of ocean. This place was guarded by Malaysia armed army at night following the Sipadan incidence.  It was unforgettable moment during the nights; staring at the starry sky, listening to the unique tempo of wave sound of shallow sandbank and sensing the ocean air...


8) Sunset : Chalets and boat appeared so tiny relatively to the endless ocean.
