Dive Master: Adam
Buddy: Dominico De Carvalho
Arrival date and the anticipation of diving Sipadan is overwhelming. I dream of Sipadan. Here I am on Seaventure Rig staring away into 20 minutes to Sipadan. I can see the Sipadan Island in the hue. My heart just beat louder and louder.
Assessment Dive: Meanwhile, once checked in, the dive crew were so excited and eager to push me into my diving gear and get on with the assessment dive. All right already as i fumbling with my equipment and gears getting ready. Still exhausted and groggy from the early morning flight.
Short 7 minutes boat ride to Paradise 1 dive reef of Mabul. Listening keenly to the Divemaster's instruction and backroll into the salty heaven of South China Sea.
Epic. Who comes to greet me the next second - the Flamboyant Cuttlefish flashing its brilliant color and dance so gracefully before me. At one point i forget to breath.
Adam, the Divemaster signalling to continue on with the reef. 5 giant turtles perching on the reef structure. What goes to my head right now.... the Christmas song - 12 days of Christmas! I stopped counting when i saw the gazillion dragon nudibranch sliding along the turtles. Fish and more colorful fish
I was in awed. I thought about god for awhile. This is what life suppose to be. I am taking in the symbiotic living and its perfection.
I forgot to click my TG5 for awhile. I just enjoyed the dive for the balance of 44 minutes. Regretfully, this being have to surface for oxygen interval.
