Day 1


In the midst of a beautiful dream, I heard the distance cock crows and bird chirpings waking me up into the awesome sunrise. “Is this nature’s way of ushering in a new day?” I thought. “I got to bring my family here then”

Gosh! It’s only 6am in the morning. Drag my self out of bed, strolled down by the pool next to the beach front and onto the breakfast lounge area to enjoy my coffee and the panoramic breathtaking sunrise against the calm sea with the backdrop of Bunakan Tua.

“This can only get better!” First dive at 8.30am after breakfast and a good dump before the dive.


1st dive Fukui

Big disappointment, nice site but the currents today were too strong. Could not snap any good pictures. Basically a sloping reef with depth up to 25 meters. Visibility was very good though at around 20m.
Spotted sharks, barracuda and the infamous giant clams.


2nd Dive Lekuan II

Wall dive with clear visibility of around 25m, once again the currents were too strong for any good shot. Its also cold with temperature down to 23 degrees. Struggling to get out of the cold currents into warmer waters. First drop down to 25m and started hovering along the walls gradually drifting up.

Spotted turtle midst the rich corals and reef fishes.


3rd dive Gabet

Best dive of the day. Visibility was up to 20m. Basically swam around the radius of about 20m. Loads of macro stuff. Manage to snap some great shots.

On the way back to the resort, tide was low. We had to walk back like 50m from the dive boat. Shallow water up to knee high.

Swam the pool and ate titbits while awaiting for the beautiful sunset to usher in the evening.
