Sipadan Trip '07

Part 5

Day 5

1st dive in Sipadan : Staghorn Crest

2nd dive in Sipadan : South Point




Early in the morning......cold water......predicted the apperance of hammerhead sharks below the surface......planned to look for them......search into open water......failed and dissappointed after 25mins.....our divemaster and Hillary saw an eagle ray......dissappeared into blue before the rest of us looked at it.....back to the reef......enjoyed ourselves there for the rest of the dive.....

Spotted moorish idols, different species of butterflyfish, angelfish and groupers, grey common snappers, tilefish, hawkfish and etc.....

On our second dive, our divemaster search the garden eels for us at the bottom bout 18m underwater......four types of them.....have to be slow motion and waited for them to come out from their burrows......just have to be patience......spent half an hour just for those eels.....besides that, several whitetip sharks resting and hanging around there......after we spotted the garden eels......we went to the shallower reef.....spent our last dive there as long as we can .......if possible finished all the air in the tank......

That's the end of our scuba diving trip in Sipadan......unforgettable memories....had so much fun and we definitely dive hard and played hard.....it's over.....becomes a great history for me.....Had our lunch......packed our stuffs and ready return to the semporna's jetty......then we headed to Tawau to spend an overnight there.....

Fresh and delicious seafood for our dinner......yummy!.....spent the night in the games arcade and had a drink in the local shop.....everyone was tired, exhausted and of course we were happy and satisfied with our trip this time.....and we left Tawau on the next morning after our breakfast.....

~THE END~
