Pulau Perhentian - 17/ 06 / 2013 - 20 / 07/ 2013 Part II (The Diving Part)

Day 3 is free and easy so we can do what we want and so we did our very first diving with https://www.facebook.com/LeisureWorldDivers and they offer PADI courses too.


So here comes the function of the swimming pool at Arwana Resot

 this is our handsome guy name Dom, he was our instructor for the diving and he`s from Pulau Perhentian Kecil or Long Beach.

After this trip he went by back jungle tracking to the another side of the island and take a water taxi to Long Beach

oh yeah, we are all suit up and ready

So we started out training in the pool, we learned how to used the BCD, regulator and also some basic skills for us in case of emergency.

Look at Wendy`s face!!!

Departing to Teluk KK near Pulau Perhentian and yea, the only guy in the boat is the Shanghai guy but I dont know him either. hahahahaha

we were taking picture in the pool right after the training

ok! I admit I really look ugly bubble coming out but it`s really cool when you did it in the sea.

So this is the man-made thing for the breeding of the coral. sorry because I dont know what it called.

and FYI for 2 years coral can only grow 1-2 cm

We were holding by by hand and moving together.
as we ascent, the pressure getting higher so we have to balance it using Valsalsa Maneuver method (that`s the common method learnt in diving school). Pinching nostrils and blow through nose. The resulting overpressure in throat will force the air up to Eustachian tubes.

As we ascending, we must do it but not waiting until feel the terrible pain in the ears only do it and no one gonna help you out because we cant balance out for you so you gotta take the initiative the blow up before getting deeper and deeper

Ok, I was literally sitting on the coral

Look at them !!! Holding hand . So sweet  xD

Look at these fished and corals ! There were so amazing and I was so excited to get close up with the fishes

this is the Clown fish or we call it Nemo

from the left me, Leisure Tan (the owner of dive shop), a China girl which  I dont know her, Ah Long, Wendy, and Meng behind Mandy, Bell and Lee


We were given a T-shirt as it just arrived on that day.

behind is the dive shop next to Arwana Resort.

Oh gosh, this is such a  good place do indulge into where you get to spend quality time with a group people who is passionate into diving.

I started loving this place, but sadly I have to go and hopefully I will be back there ASAP for my PADI course.

Pulau Perhentian - 17/ 06 / 2013 - 20 / 07/ 2013 Part I

Bought super cheap tickets during new year and flee to Pulau Perhentian on that very 17th June.
Rejuvenating ourself after a hard fought with exam and stress from workplace.


Ok, it`s kinda awkward but I have to tell this is the my "Virgin Flight"

and this four of us (well, got to be "sam pat" a bit before departure )

We are flying above the cloud !!!

yay!! (ok, that`s nothing to yay about)

and then after the arrival to Kota Bharu we were chartered to Jetty or Jerteh for the local pronounce by a Van that we have pre-ordered from the tour company.

 and paid for Rm5 per pax for the ride of speedboat to the Pulau Perhentian

this is the Arwana Resort we stayed in 4 days 3 nites

sorry, camera still chilled so photo blurred out !

Tada! here we are in Awana Resort in Pulau Perhentian. This place has the most facilities compared to the others of course, the price also vary abit.

the do have a jetty and a swimming pool






As usual the package include snorkelling as well for the 3-Islands (Perhentian, Lang Tengah and also Redang)

So here`s some of our pictures for the second day of snorkelling and also trip to Lang Tengah and Redang

this was taken at Redang Island on it`s Jetty














they are bullying me.....T.T

  

at the Mor Mor Tea Inn

Me, Bell, Wendy and Mandy at the back

Taking picture with our handsome Mr Ah Long

dont ask him if you are not lending money from him

Wendy and Mandy

Le fat me

Seriously, if you like bigger beach Pulau Redang is an ideal place, because they can put alot of these "chairs".

but if you dont like crowd, you can always go Pulau Perhentian Besar. the place where I stayed. because there are alot of people coming over everyday and there are chartered to their resort by track. the beach is so ruined.

this is the second ride they got into after they sent by the ferry

here we are, Pulau Redang Marine Park.

We were doing snorkelling here and this places has 2 giants EELS!!!! It`s like we can have lotsa lotsa Unagi!!

too bad we din take the waterproof camera so cant show you.

if you have the chance you must see it yourself

Little crab floated on the sea on Lang Tengah

Le stupid me holding sea cucumber !!

 So, I was looking for another big sea cucumber and I spotted this red sea cucumber.

this is the first time I saw a red cucumber and it`s kinda "ugly" and not a good feeling when try to hold them because they look like WORM

Another Jump at the Lang Tengah.

and sorry, this is not really the "Lang Tengah" where they have the Love You You scene building.

We cant go there because the tide was low so our boat cant even approach to the place

We were suppose to the Shark Point where we can see real shark because the day before we dont have luck to see any of them so they make up on the day after.

too bad, the wave was so strong, the place turn milky so we headed to Lata Air Berani at Pulau Perhentian for the chilling under water

this is Ah Seng our tour guy

behind him is the pool of "Chilled water"

this is the side of the pook where they have a pipe channelling the water













 his picture with his "Burung Gagak"

Just because she cant always jump higher so he challenged her

Guys, this is super recommended if you are going to have meals in Pulau Perhentian Besar.

this BFirst Resort is neaby and the prices are reasonable and the most important is the food portion is big. compares to others and it`s EDIBLE

if you would run in a budget way, just take room for your trip and have your meal here. but Im not sure if they serve breakfast !



End of 2nd day
