PULAU PAYA!!! ......Snokeling!!!!......Wanted to buy a marine case for my camera but it was too expensive......$320..... ....not unless I know how to dive......

[kschew1498]

At last....after an hour + of cruising.......

[kschew1498]

[kschew1498]

[kschew1498]

Another snokerling platform by Langkawi Coral Operator.......have to pay RM90 extra to use the facilities......+ Buffet lunch on the platform.....

[kschew1498]

Check out the amunt of Sargent Major ........

While snokerling, I was surprise to see Moorish Idol, Banner Fish, a 1m+ resident baracuda, tomato clown, different species of tiggers, huge blue face angel (I think) and best of all SHARK!!!!!.....Lots of them!!!!

Corals.....Sigh!.......cannot fight with Tioman.....Tioman still the best for SPS.....

[kschew1498]

Too bad I dont have a underwater camera.....I was swimming with the shark......1m long!!!! .....I believe they are black tip shark!!!!........at least > 10 of them swimming so near to the shore.......

The snokerling operators were feeding them with left over from our lunch.....Fried Chicken Bone!!

[kschew1498]

What an experience!!!

If you are daring enough.....I think you can even touch them......they really swim all the way to the shore......its probably like 3m from the beach!!!!!

[kschew1498]

Good bye Sharks!!!

[kschew1498]

I was totally Burn Out!

The snorkeling part was the most enjoyable part of this holiday!.......and the worst part.....bloody mosquito at night.....remember to bring insect repellant, mosquito coil, tiger balm oil.....whatever that can prevent from these suckers!!!!

(Am sketching my legs while typing..... )

Thats all folks! Guess the next long week end will be only in August....sigh!
