Our first dive @ Labas:
It is closely related to pufferfish but porcupinefish have spine on its body. It can inflate by swallowing water or air and become a round ball to protect itself from predators. When it is inflated, its sharp spine stands out and provides a shield for the porcupinefish.
Blue-Spotted Ribbontail Ray.It has very bright distinct blue spots on its round-shaped body.
Staghorn Corals
Potato Corals are commonly found in Batu Malang.
Gobies are everywhere in the sandy bottom.
Breakfast served @ Salang Beach Resort
Our 3rd dive @ Chebeh.
Blue-Spotted Ribbontail Ray.
An adult Moray Eel
Moray Eels are often found hidden in holes during the day. They constantly open and close their mouth is merely an action that pumps water over the gills for respiration and is not a sign of imminent attack.
A huge Map Pufferfish!A magnificent school of Fusiliers!
School of Snapper??!!
We end our last dive @ Soyak before taking the 3pm speedboat ferry.
Before heading back to Spore, we drop by at the popular Al-Hamid Chendol in Mersing town to taste the all-time favourite Malaysian dessert.
They served good Indian rojak and roti prata too!
Saw a rainbow on the way home.
