3) Emperor fish - Amazingly, it is on the way to changing colour.

The emperor angelfish, Pomacanthus imperator, is a species of marine angelfish. It is a reef-associated fish, native to the Indianand Pacific Oceans, from the Red Sea to Hawaii and the Austral Islands. Juveniles are dark blue with electric blue and white rings; adults have yellow and blue stripes, with black around the eyes. It takes about 24 to 30 months for an emperor angelfish to acquire its adult colouring. They grow to 40 cm (15.75 in) in length~wiki.

Sipadan-Mabul-Kapalai

1) 天堂

我不会忘怀那一刻的天堂...

零浮动力--
垂直式的停留于海面下80尺的静谧空间.

千多尺下的海洋,是如此的深不可测,
海洋上方的光,却是如此的湛蓝弦目.

我手环于胸,懒怠的一动不动,

任暗流徐徐逐放,
惊叹造物者在壁上的神奇杰作,

一秒,
一分,

一世...

2) 狮子鱼(Lion Fish)

如果不是Mabul Island下的
骇人激流和恼人海胆,
我想我不会如此冒然的横冲直撞...
感激你,
在迎面最后的20厘米距离,
来个大拐弯,

让我侥幸地逃离你--
含毒的蜇伤...

3) 花园鳗 (Garden Eel)

毫不起眼的你,
像海草般的隨波飘扬...

然而,
在残暴的王者之前,
你从未曾退缩...

4) 鲀鱼 (Triggerfish)

世界唯一的妳--企图啃噬我脚的家伙...

5) 青龟(Green Turtle)

从你智慧的眼神,

我臆测你是只--
历经沧海桑田百年岁月的青龟吧..

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.
