Eyelands of Paradise (For some photos: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5brzw6rjjjg13s9/b_HkBosETd)
If you have been diving over a decade in the coral triangle, you would realize that most islands are indeed a paradise but to have an island that is a gem both above and below, only a handful would...
Just wanna share my trip to Puerto Galera in June 2013. This is one of those trips where I made the decision to just pack my equipments and go without much research. I just wanted to surprise myself this round.Manila is an easily accessible city by taking a direct flight from any major city in...

After our heavy American breakfast at the hotel, the dive master ofNoblesse’s Dive Centre helped us to load our tanks and dive equipments onto thetricycle. We were pretty amazed with the load the tricycle took and before wecould ponder further, we were on our way to Tanawan...

Took a flight from KL to Kota Kinabalu on Air Asia. Waited for 3 hours in Kota Kinabalu airport before taking Cebu...
Day 6 (30th Jan 2012)
We left at 7am sharp and headed off to Sabang Town for a quick Nasi Lemak breakfast before going to the Jetty for the 8.30am jetty. If we miss that, it would spell problem for us cause the next ferry wouldn’t allow us to get to the airport on time. I have to say the...
Day 5 (29th Jan 2012)
Started our day diving at the Canyon. Unlike the speed boats that were used by SSS, the journey on the wooden boat owned by Lumba Lumba was really slow. This is the time you would get a tan or sunburn if you are not protected. We reached the Canyon after 30 minutes from...
Day 4 (28th Jan 2012)
As we had 2 more boat dives with SSS, we started our day early and headed off to the Underwater Hot Spring. A site where you dive and relax with the warm bubbles rising from the vents. Be warned that the vents are fuming hot and do avoid direct contact at all times...
Day 3 (27th Jan 2012)
Achenese has a strict tradition of not touching the sea on Thursdays after dusk till Friday noon. With that, we hired a private taxi to take us for a half day tour of the island and plan to resume diving in the afternoon.
The driver took us to Sabang town for Mee Sabang...

Day 2 (26th Jan 2012)
We had an easy breakfast that was included with the room in Medan hotel before our driver picked us up at about 8am.
The journey to the jetty took less than 30 mins. We saw a mass burial grave of the tsunami victims on the way and the new tsunami barriers beside the sea...
As costing will always be a common question that most divers would ask after we post a report of a trip, I will therefore try my very best to share the report with costing and ratings instead. As usual, my ratings would be
lousy or crappy *
a lot to improve **
ok considering the price ***...
We will be going to Pulau Weh tomorrow. A little island less known to a lot of divers in Sumatra, Indonesia. This island marks the start of the Indonesian island on the west with the Andaman Sea meeting the Indian Ocean. Definitely sounds like a place where great marine life would be especially...
Managed to get fantastic pricing for this trip to Maldives on a luxury dive boat for only USD1685 per diver (Normal price would be USD2200++)
This is the last chance to witness manta rays and whale sharks by the 100s together feeding on the September Plankton. The Maldivian government will be...
