Advance Open water

March 2005 : Tioman

I was back at the same place about a year later for my advance open water course. This time monsoon season just ended thus was a bit worried about bad water conditions. Visibility was not as good as my basic course but we manage to sight a few marine life which was new to us.



We had our equipments packed neatly before arriving at our dive site.



This was the visibilty range during our dives.



We spot this huge sting ray on our very first dive in this trip. This sting ray is easily 2m wide! It was an amazing sight. Everyone paused while it glided pass our group.





Some of the marine life spotted during my trip.






This is the crown of thorns. Seem quite harmless but any diver that steps on it can get themselves into serious trouble.



A blue spotted sting ray was seen resting under some corals.



And of course this is myself trying to get a nice background for a good shot. :)
These photos were taken at the following dive sites, Jahat, Bahava Rock, Renggis and Labas.
