Pulau Hantu 27 Aug 06

Last week I did my first trip with Hantublog as a volunteer. The skies were grey and drizzling in the morning but started to clear up on our way to the island.

On our first dive, the visibility was quite good, about 2-3m vis at 12m depth, and maybe around 4-5m vis at 5m depth.. cool right> ;p We didnt see that much of nudibranches except for two cuuuttee litte fellas




















We did come across a little pipefish but it was too far into the corals to take any pics.. nevertheless we are still glad to see one :)

The coral growth seems to be quite good and Chay Hoon and I took great care as we manouveur near the reefs.




















We came across fishing lines entangled among the corals and cut off one before we realised it really is someone still fishing ;p but oh well, the line is already entangled and the owner probaby only end up breaking some coral edges and still lose the line so might as well not end up breaking any coral ^_^


















On the second dive, we decided to dive at the cigar reef and paid a visit to the resident huge anemone shrimp.





















As we move on, we came across another pipefish again, and this time we got it on picture ;)

















All in all, it was a good trip especially seeing that we have some corals growinbg well and strong. And that makes my day ;)
