SIPADAN ISLAND - THE DROP OFF

This was during Surface Interval before our second dive in Sipadan. Most divers would take a picture with this sign board. Its a must. In this picture I am also wearing my awesome Camaro to keep me warm underwater. Love it!

This was the first time I saw the famous & Awesome BARRACUDA VORTEX! I can't believe we saw it. Our group are so lucky to see this vortex. Perfect Visibility! Its a medium size one this one about 20m high. Even then I was like OMG!!! This is like the best Diving experience I've had to date since I started Diving! But you already know that I saw the ULTIMATE 50m HIGH BARRACUDA VORTEX which beats this one. Its crazy that we saw the Vortex twice.

BARRACUDA VORTEX just keeps going on. So cool!

My favorite triggerfish of all the CLOWN TRIGGERFISH. I always lookout for them on every dive coz they are truly funny looking fishes. Its pattern & colours are so distinctive that you just can't miss them when you see one.

Beautiful Sunrise. This was taken from the boat on the way to Sipadan Island at like 5 ish am. So sleepy I tell ya but not when we got there. It was so exciting and we were so wide awake once we step foot on Sipadan Island.
