Matabuan Island

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

Did a dive in Matabuan Island off Sempurna. Quite an amazing sites and the beautiful beaches surrounding the small island.The visibility underwater was amazing,maybe around 30m.Very lively corals,hard and soft. The current only at the corner of the bay is quite strong.But for season divers shouldn't have any problem.Although didn't get to find seahorses in Matabuan,I think the possibilities are very high since a lot of sea grass in the shallow area.Found many boxer shrimp and nudi branch.

Si Amil Island

Wednesday, May 14, 2008

Just came back from Si-Amil Island which is a 45 minutes boat ride from Mabul Island.The island itself guarded by Malaysian Army to protect the island which is the last frontier between Malaysian waters and Philiphines.Beautiful sandy beach surrounds the island.We dive in between Si-Amil Island and Denawan Island at about 30m and found a ship wreck.A lot of nudibranch and macro critters.Definitely is a macro spot for divers!
