Hornets Reef

Should I dive or should I not? Is that even a question? Well not for me as the answer is obvious! Diving has been my passion ever since I started some 3 years back. I haven't dive for slightly more than a month due to some "freak" accident on my neck. What happen? Don't ask - but all I can say is it is not a lovebite! :P hee hee..

I was excited hearing that there will be a dive off Jerudong. It has been ages and I would like to return to Arun's Wreck. 5 minutes out the sea and Hj Kula's engine failed on us. :( So how??? Cannot dive ar?? Hell no! Azli came to the rescue, towing the boat all the way to Hornets Reef. And, what happen next? We had two wonderful dives....! :) Pictures speak more than a thousand words... so take a look at the pictures taken by my dive buddies, Andrew and Steven.

*My camera still under repair somewhere in Singapore - Boo...Hoooo....! :( *

I like this shot.
It is something common in underwater Brunei
that very often we will not even capture a shot of it.
Yet, this photo potrays such beautiful texture...

The highlight of this dive:
