Maldives Here I Come - Ep 02

Jan 27, 2019:
first day of my dive in maldives. gugup? nervous? semuanya ada. we get to know which group we are in. and this was also the 1st time aku share bilik dengan Lind. yang best kalau gi dive ni, i get to know new people - make new friends gitu.

it was okay cuma i needed to get use to the small room and goyang2 dek ombak. kalau ombak rindu tu tak payah cakap la kan.. rindu tetap rindu. tettt... okay, disebabkan jarak aku post cerita ni agak lama, so there might be points yang aku akan tertinggal.

we got up early for the 1st dive. and as usual, aku akan cari our Dive Master (DM) for our group and keep close to him/her. that is what i do normally during my dive trips pun. why? sebab selalunya i will struggle masa 1st dive. aku biasa ada masalah nak equalize. and macam tu la jugak yang happened masa my 1st dive kat maldives ni. tapi best... the experience was superb. i saw this beautiful moray eel and pada aku memang unique. and masa kitorang dive tu our DM, Lee dok acah2 1 big pouty fish.. and cantek ikan tu. as a diver, i am a fish person compared to corals. i like colorful fish and different sizes.. kalau creatures lain tu macam bonus la untuk aku.

air laut maldives memang cantik.. the colors.. macam ada different layers. and quite challenging jugak if you ask me.. coz kat maldives, deep dives and current. but seronok lah. aku pakai gambar orang lain sebab camera aku tak de casing.. so by the time deeper than 15m, i cannot take picture already. tu pun nasib baik camera aku ok.

i dont know which fish - so tengok je lah kat sini

cantek kan moray eel ni? :D

and disebabkan pakai dive comp baru - aku masih tercari2 kat mana time for the safety stop tu. best dengan DM Lee, memang dia betul2 jaga aku (which he will do the same to others i am sure), so aku pun depend on his dive comp je la. time tu, i kinda miss my Suunto. but tak pe lah.. guna je lah dah melaburkan duit yang bukan sikit kan? 

our interval lepas dive is always back at Myna Tour boat. 2nd dive best... there was underwater current tapi kitorang semua drift - gosh i really enjoyed myself!! serious best giler.. yang kelakar tu masa dah hujung drift i was a bit far from the rest of the group - and DM Lee came to me and pulled me back to regroup. hahaha 😀 i wish i had it on camera but too bad tak de. 

this is our boat at night

during this trip jugak i dived with the gloves and reef hook. mula2 tu macam tak nak pakai gloves but then again disebabkan current yang kadang2 agak kuat - we need to hold on to whatever yang kitorang boleh capai kat dasar laut tu. first dive tu i did not wear my gloves and jari memang tercucuk apa entah - tajam jugak. tu yang the 2nd dive onwards i started to wear my gloves. still could not find the safety stop timer. 

yang best nampak sharks.. walaupun mula2 macam blur - apa benda yang DM Pino nak tunjuk ni kan. dia ni agak kelam kabut dalam air and sangat laju. 

korang tengok la wetsuit yang aku pakai tu... 2nd day tak pakai dah sebab wetsuit tu dah rabak - reput.. hahaha sib baik tak hancur dalam air.. aku rasa macam after every dive rasa nak update AH of my experience. i think we did 3 dives on the 1st day.. ehh kenapa aku rasa macam lupa eh? dammnn..
