    No words that i could use to describe Maldives. Been there for 7 days with all the cool crowds, nothing much that i could ask for a good companion. Our first dive at Lankan Manta Point, the water is so crystal clear that i could see three giant manta rays at 10m depth when i was still on surface . I was mesmerized and speechless! They are huge but so graceful to look at. And only one minute later, i hold up my camera and started snapping pics. Kagummssss!!!

    the Mantas

    the underwater paparazzis lining up and on their best effort capturing the Mantas

    such a graceful creature…

    the dive guide told us that we were really lucky as the water was really calm when we there,when it was supposed not to as the monsoon already started.

    the highway…all swipe out due to strong currents.

    the eagle rays…

    the dead sea corals that have been burned out and re-use as the material to construct the wall of the houses. it is common practice over there.

    souvenir shop at one of the fisherman’s village in Maldives and as u can see, it is obviously running out of stock.

    the scorpion fish

    The beautiful sunset at Ari Atoll

    Mr. Octopus….

    he tried to run away and finding a new spot to hide..

    see,it’s camouflaging…

    the turtle having his lunch

    the sting ray swimming towards us…

    the moray eel, the closest one i could get….takuuuuutt!!! hahaha

    the porcupine fish when it’s not yet puffing..

    somebody buat lawak atas boat. straight away cover my mouth when LOL instead of showing my toothy laugh. Haha!

    marking my presence..as usual.

    LUXURY….and mostly the Russians could afford to charter it. Muhammad, one of the staff told me ‘ hey lucky girl, if you go there you wont come back!” hahaha

    the MV Blue Dolphin Safari, Maldives – that was our lodge during our 7 days stay in Maldives

    the Male airport.the trail is a combination of two atolls.

    the Male town

    the Maldivian’s fisherman boat. so high-tech kan..compared to ours.

    the giant blue Marlin fish at Male Fish Market.

    the yellowfin tuna. the Japs loving it for sushi.

    Right after i came back from Bali, less in 48 hours time i shoot to Tioman Island for another dive trip and this time it was live-on-board style (LOB)..just like the one i had in Maldives. Not much i can write about this trip as this was the laziest one i’ve ever had. Just like the motto..eat,dive,sleep…all the time i just eat and sleep. Great food, great people! Never felt bored..every meals time we will always had a story telling session by Nasir (we called him ‘Penglipur Lara’). Never in my entire life, i met a good story teller like him. Trust me, he is very gooood at it. Haha! To all Mentari Tabloq divers (you know who you are) i wish u Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha, Jumaah Mubaraqah! Insya Allah next season meh kita dive same2 lagi..!!

    (above) The MV Black Pearl

    Some scenes of crazy safety stop..macam2 aksi kuar dah! Hahaha…

    The pterois or commonly known as lionfish

    The bluespotted stingray

    The puffer fish when it is not yet puffing…

    Gotcha!!! I found you..i found youu!!

    My favorite shot of the trip - Occelaris clownfish or famoulsy known as Nemo (the name was adapted from a character in Finding Nemo movie).

    People asked me how many times i’ve been to Bali..i simply answered -countless! Bali, my favorite getaway and this time around i completed my Bali map by marking my presence to Singaraja district where the beautiful Menjangan Island is actually located. October 2011 marked as the diving month for me, which means in this month i had 3 dive trips with only less than a week period differ from each other and that includes Bali, Tioman and the magnificient Maldives. This post is all about Bali, went there with bunch of diver friends. Dive sites covered – Padang Bai, Tulamben and Menjangan Island. Had so much fun with the others, they are such a good companions. A trip that full of laughters, teasings and chirpy talkings.

    (above) My favorite pic of the trip – taken at Menjangan Island. this pic was taken before ‘search and recovery camera tragedy’ happened (only certain people knew what i meant). Nah, it had nothing to do with my camera got flooded or anything, it was another different story that i refuse to share in this blog. Hehe! *zipping mouth*

    • Siti Fairuz : ade masenye kena pki flash ade masenye tidak.bergantung pd gambar camne yg kite nk compose.tp jgn ckp smpi x perlu sbb flash ade kegunaannye.besides lighting,flash bole vibrantkn lg true colors of the subject n freeze the subject.tapi kena jaga spy flash yg bounce tu x terlalu harsh.klu flash tu x perlu,there's no point of the manufacturer invented one.flash will give feel to the subject.but then again,i will keep on practising :)
    • reen : i strongly wants you to practise taking pix underwater without using the flash. Flash buat ikan tu berpinar2. Takut mrk stress. kalau sorang je bawa kamera takpe. Ini sampai 4-6 biji kamera skali tangkap berdas2 kat ikan. Sure berpinau ikan tu
    • reen : takpe 5ruz...lelama ko will get the hang of it. Take time finding your own mojo for the underwater pix. Masa buat swimtru mmg best
