Ah, finally we reached the first destination. Coral Garden.
Coral Garden basically an area with half-dying corals. Most of the corals there are already turned greyish, only few patch of them still shown color of life. Nevertheless, it still have it’s charm.
As you noticed in this photo, the boatman is throwing crumbs of bread to lure the fishes around.
Next, we went to Shark’s Point…
As we can see here, the current and waves here are quite strong. Maybe because of that, sharks likes to dwell around here.
We swim for quite some times, the only shark we saw is only about one meter long.
Maybe here is where the help of muscleman and his trusty machete will be handy to lure the sharks out! :D
My friend’s toes are wounded on the rock earlier, so just swam nearby the boat in case got any curious shark smell the blood.
Next destination is Turtle chasing!
We supposed to check out the turtle’s nest but that area are being closed by martime police to preserve their eggs. What a great environmental action by local government!
So many times during this trip, I kinda regreted for not having an underwater camera. If you going for snorkeling or diving at least once in 1-2 months, please invest in one. We saw about 2-3 adult turtles here. Once the turtle swam away from us, we aligned to the boat and continued searching for the next one, then the boat driver will instructed us to jump.
It was fun!

It was fun to have such an experience … corals, fishes, sharks, turtles … awesome. Nice pictures.
same here, i do not have underwater camera too :( so i can only take pictures from the shallow when i can shoot from above the water. i am planning to buy an inexpensive one though.
but your pictures are great still, and the experience would still give you memories that will last.
The water is so beautiful, I can only imagine what was going on underneath it.
