malaysia travel
Day 2

Today activitie was mainly snorkeling and island hoping. Everyone woke up around 7.30am today and our breakfast was ready at 8.10am. The breakfast was simple(friend mee, toast bread, Pau , coffee and tea). After taken our breakfast, we wait for our boat to come and pick us up in front of Babura Seaview Resort. While waiting, we'd decide to take a photo before everyone getting darker.

~Everyone with their excited looking face~

9:30am, the boat finally come to pick us up. Since we had enough people to book for 1 whole boat, so we did not need to share the boat with others that we did not know. THE BOAT WAS OURS FOR THE WHOLE DAY..haha.....



Photo taken while we are on our way to our first destination Tulai Island (Coral Island)

They were looking at the sea cucumber




Some photo taken in Tulai Island using out IXUS 860IS with Underwater Housing WP-DC17. No external strobe was used as the Sunlight was enough to produce nice picture.


After Tulai Island, the boat man brought us to the next destination Malang Rock.


Conversation:

Me: Bang, kat sini tengok ikan ke tengok coral?

Boat man: Sini tengok coral, tapi coral banyak dah Mati.

Boat man: Tengok ikan saja la...

Me: ......(Speechless)


The boat man was correct. Most of the coral here had died but the water was crystal clear. I am not sure what could be the reason but i was sure it was an extremely beautiful place if they were still alive. No wonder Tioman Island had their ranking in the world once upon a time.




At around 11.30am, the boat man brought us to Salang Village to settle our lunch. The lunch was simple, just some fried chicken with fried rice. After lunch, we went sight seeing around Salang Village. Salang Village was a bit crowded if compare with Tekek Village.


Around 12.30pm, we continued our journey to Tioman Marine Park near Tekek Village. According to the boat man, the depth here was around 30 meter. So, we could not see the sea bed from the top. The fishes in Marine park were bigger in size if compare with others location.



Two main species that we could found in Marine Park




Some happy moment at Marine Park.

At 2.30pm, we had decided to move to our last destination of today which was Renggis Island. This was a very small island but suprisingly, this island was surrounded by rich marine life(Coral and Fishes). And this was the only place that we could find crown fish.

Around 3.30pm, everyone was tired and hungry, so we decided to go back to our resort.
