Here's my another overnight diving and fishing trip recently......group photo taken just before we start our journey and just after loading all the equipments, tanks, food, fishing rods and other stuff....everyone still sweating at that moment....

This time I explored Thai, Japanese and Chinese shipwrecks approximately 90ft underwater......as usual, I tried to figure out the shipwrecks' structures, hoping for some rare marinelife and of course, most important I managed to enjoy myself.....interesting dives although the visibility was not good..... but still be able to catch a view on some invertebrates such as crab and shrimps....

However the boat that we rent for the trip was not really comfortable and pretty small compared to my previous trip......considered a bit dirty as well.....definitely no places for us to walk here and there, just managed to occupy a place to sit down and fishing.....

14 divers were on the boat excluding the captain and his crew...BUT...merely its bedroom only offered for bout 8 persons....can't believe that....unfortuntanely some of the guys have no place to sleep and not even a single oppportunity to take a nap....and that's of course including me....ended up behind of the boat at 3am (pic on the right) while the others continue fishing till dawn.... sunrise...then continue with our dives...what an unforgettable experience on that boat!

Besides diving, fishing was a part of our programs as well.....this time I used my new fishing rod....seeking some new techniques and styles on how to fish from others......at least managed to get some medium red snappers and one (quite big) blackspot snapper (approx. 3-4 kg) for myself.....

Penny, one of the divers, NAUI diver, also got her own common grey stingray and some snappers.....she got a fish without its tail.....whoahahaha.......eaten by some kind of bigger fish......

Teresa, diver too, managed to get some snappers and small grouper.....during her last strike before stop fishing......she got a big diamond trevally..... unfortunately the fish chased and eaten by a huge great barraccuda......it just happened approximately 3m below sea level......everyone on the boat saw the incident....wow!! I never see this huge great barraccuda before...what a fantastic view!......and of course merely left the fish head ( pic above) .....
