Date : 5 - 7 Sept 2008
Venue : Pulau Tenggol, Terengganu
This is seriously a very memorable diving trip that i guess i won't forget for the rest of my life for the fact that we saw WHALE SHARK!!!
Do you know how hard it is to get to see a whale shark? Some divers don't even have the chance to encounter one eventhough they have dive for years... I'm really so super blessed! :D Thank you Lord!!!
Hhmmm, so many pics... where should i start... argghh... and i can't really remember things in detail. Nevermind la, i just put in pics enough la... :) Enjoy!
Oh ya, one of the strange things that keep on happening in this trip was that our boat went kaput / rosak... The very first day, we've already been stranded in the middle of the sea for 4 hours. :D But i do enjoyed alot being in the middle of the sea whereby the 15 of us can't do anything except joking around and some even jumped into the sea to pee pee... :D
