Diving @ Pulau Dayang

I spent the weekend at diving at Pulau Dayang. It was a pretty relaxing dive trip in general.

Accomodation, food and toilet/bathroom are pretty basic. Nothing to rave about. One word of advice, bring your own blanket! But the beach and water is simply fantastic. I never thought I will live to see such amazing water condition in Asia!

Cozy little accomodation at Dayang. Look at the rock cliff behind... Amazing right?


You can see Pulau Aur from the beach.


Of the 5 dives, 2 have pretty good visibiliy while the other 3 are limited visibility. I didn't get a see as much as the last dive trip to Pulau Tioman in March. I used a film underwater camera, so I doubt I made any good shots. Still, I'm anxious to check it out.

In Tioman, I buddied with a Dive Master, so the two of us got to see a lot of interesting marine life. Of course, my buddy was excellent in pointing out amazing fishes and creatures for me to see.

In Dayang, the experience is quite different. It is good exposure to feel how different waters can be like and what are the things to look out for in such situations. I got a few cuts and bruises. I also realised that I'm more comfortable going down the sea and can fin pretty well. Still need to work on my buoyancy.
