Blue Water Wreck - 25th June 2006

I would like to call this dive... episode Blue Water II - The Return...! :) Hehe

It is indeed another good dive trip at Blue Water. The journey there is always painful. Longggggggggg ride.. this time it takes us longer. It felt like 50mins ride there. I cant be sure as i didnt keep track of the time. To make the ride more painful, the wind was strong causing current. After the choppy ride, we finally spotted the buoy tied to the wreck. We were delighted, excited and cud not wait to get into the water.

The viz was excellent! As we descent from the anchor line, i was once again mesmerised by the beauty of the wreck with the backdrop of blue blueeeeeee blueeeeeee water.... Sweet! It was such a pretty site that i felt that i might miss something when i blink my eyes.

On the first dive, we spotted a school of barracudas, yellow fin jack, batfishes, lion fishes, 2 trumpet fishes, 2 white-eyed morray eels and long-nose hawkfishes (Eugene told us that these fishes usually eats the pygmy seahorse, so if u c them, that means u cant see pygmy seahorse ). The batfishes were so cheeky and playful that they followed us to our 5 metres safety stop, playing with us, swimming ard us making the 5 mins safety stop felt so short. There was also a small golden-coloured fish (pai seh i dunno wut it is called) that claimed territory at the buoy line at abt 6 metres. The first dive was so good that we decided to return for a second dive. Chegu, Dk and a few more divers on the 2nd boat decided to go to Kuraman instead. Imagine changing tanks with the current so strong? After some tiring tanks exchanged (thanks to the guys especially those future DMs :)), we went down for our 2nd dive. It was again an excellent dive, the special sea creatures spotted were cleaning shrimps and a huge stonefish about 1 feet long. We also spotted a sleepy lionfish. Hehe... The underwater current was strong on the 2nd dive and it felt really short but tiring.

After the dives, we headed to Kuraman Island to look for the other boat. We had fried chicken wings, noodles and milo kosong to keep our body warm! :) hehe... We rested there for about 3 hours as the wind are strong and we had to wait for it to settle down. Linda played with a tortoise who then decided to pee on her hands. hehe... Eugene were happily playing with the dogs there and had been given a new nickname as Papa Gene by Cute Manta. The Bitch decided to join in and started feeding the dogs. We met up with Clovis and his family who decided to spend their Sunday picnic at Kuraman.

Papa Gene was really happy with this site. I was glad to hear that and i asked "Will you come back to Blue water again?" He replied, "OF COS!" Hmm... I wonder when episode BW III will be out?
