Back From Tioman Live On Board!

Its been a few days since we were back from our Live on Board trip to Tioman! And i tell you it was GREAT! Saw so many things we wanted to, including Nurse Shark, Blacktips, Turtle, Cuttlefish! Morray Eel..etc..Pics below! And it was just awesome! It seemed like the perfect trip! There was good company, good food, nice air con bunks, with hot shower and free flow of anything you want on board the MV seaborne! ( I must get a cut from seaborne for advertising LOBs for them! www.mvseaborne.com) I love LOB! don't know why ppl look at the cost rather than the enjoyment of no customs transfer, or bus to boat transfer and lugging your dive bags and equipment all around... zzz.. LOB rocks my soaks man! The motto of LOB, Eat-Sleep-Dive-Eat-Sleep-Dive!





The company comprised of from left to right, kelvin Jesper, Samuel, Myself Marcus Chin (aka urchin man casue he got stug so many times by sea urchin) and gabriel. A really fun bunch to spend 2 days and 2 nights on a boat together! The laughs, sun tanning on the star deck and games of bridge we had! fun fun fun!
















Prata with curry for Breakfast on Sunday!

Steamboat dinner! on A boat! Saturday night!

So we boarded MV seaborne on the 20th of August 2007 at Singapore yatch club! Said goodbye to our footwear (those who went LOB will know why goodbye footwear) And said hello to our home on the sea for the next 2 days!
After a night of star gazing, we hit the aircon bunks! And arose to tioman in the horizon as we looked over the bow of the boat.

Diving time! our first dive Site was Tiger reef! Did some penetration And saw Seaslugs,
Morray Eel and Nemo!
Upon surfacing onto the boat, just leave your gears on the dive deck, change out and helped ourselves to ice cool watermelon to rid the sea out of our mouths!










Clown fish So beauitful!

Next Dive was at Labas, Saw blue spotted ray and the "evil" crown of thrones, which kelvin took and fed it to the urchin. Crown of thrones eat coral! so are pest! We were doing a good thing! haha.

Blue spoted Ray!

Crown Of Thrones

Ringgis was our 3rd dive site! This time saw turtles, cuttlefish changing its colour and more Eels!

Cuttlefish!

4th dive was at Tioman marine park! this time the visibility was not so good! But had a fun time of fish feeding! All the fishes were in a frenzy around us! Did the 7 wreck exploratory dive with kelvin as our dive leader and saw LionFish!

5th Dive was night dive at Jalang Jetty. Where we saw crabs! Giant grouper! Eagle ray trying to burry itself and cute puffer fish!


After The night dive we had our sumptous SteamBoat dinner! and had a change to walk onto land! And if you could imagine, once our feet touched land it was as if we were still rockin on the boat! And we headed back to mvseaborne to end our day of diving and into our slumber we went dreaming of mermaids! haha!



























Next morning we woke ready to dive again!

6th dive was at Jack rock pinnacle!
visibility was predicted to be bad! but we were in the hope of finding lobsters! Well we did not see any lobsters! but Dave our dive leader found a nurse shark in a hole! some of us din get to see though.. too musch silt kicked up already.. haha..


7th dive! Initially visibility at under 12 meters was bad.. But once we hit bottom we discovered an abandoned fishing trap! Poor fishes trapped in it! guess what! two black tips!! We now had to do a recue mission! dave and kelvin to the rescue! i was just the photographer haha! evidence of our good deeds to nature!

So as we went up to 9 meters near jack's rock it was like an underwater aquarium! It was 7th heaven on our 7th dive! haha.. so beautiful! environment.. i was at under 50bars of air but i just wanted to stay under for summore.. so din't tell the dive leader.. please dun do this! please voice out at 50bars and below to begin to surface and do a saftey stop everyone! haha..

neudibranch..(a type of sea slug)

The 7th heaven i was talking about! We all posing in this "underwater aquarium"
