For other photos :
too bad I dun have a underwater cam.. if not i would have taken the shark I saw..the feeding green back turtle.. the blue spotted ray..the cute flatfish.. the school of fishes swimming around me.. the corals.. the clownfishes.. the bubbles.. the remora twice.... (1st : saw it trying to stick to me, 2nd time to Pat leg hee)

the underwater world.

Wind was strong hence the choppy seawaters... snorkeled at Bahara Rocks..open channel and its not advisable for beginners like me to go... went nevertheless.. cos the boat was so rocky! Ben and the twins puked lo... I was already feeling giddy without sea sickness.. the rocking effect was immense heh. But the snorkel was great.. in fact i enjoyed it so much! though it was hard swimming against the waves and den it kinda sweep me towards the rocks.. I saw like alot of things.. looking down at the seabed was an enchanting sight. I cant wait to go for another dive~~

Though you may choke on the yucky seawater..(its super salty!! makes your nose and throat hurt), risk getting decompression sickness, seasick puking & all sorts of weird happenings..
I still think everyone should try diving. The experience is worth all the while!
