The boat moored for my second dive that day at a site called Midway Reef, a submerged reef known for its continuous currents and lots of pelagics to be seen as one drifts along the endless coral patches. According to the tide table, there weren’t supposed to be any currents or even if there is, [...]
I went to Perhentian over the weekend, it’s been a long time since I dived the island that changed me. Once upon a time, I used to call it home (underwater). There’s not much to shout about, the dive sites are still intact as they used to be and Batu Layar site at Teluk Pauh [...]

Why It was last year when I saw a Whale shark at Whale Mount dive site in Redang island and spent some good 10 minutes with the gentle leviathan. It was one of the most memorable dive trip ever, not sure if I would get the same chance again in my life. Some people dived [...]

I was often asked about which diving agency I’m certified with, perhaps due to my strange way of answering their questions on scuba diving principles, theories and also the way I dive. Well, to answer those questions – I am a PADI, SSI and PSAI certified but would prefer to consider myself as the PSAI [...]
Just came back from the island last night, drove back via Terengganu. Last weekend, the island was quieter than usual. May to September is supposed to be the busiest time of the year with boats full of divers buzzing about. But it’s okay, less divers can be a good thing too… because viz was reasonably [...]
