    “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...

    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...

    Pulau Weh - Are Corals Pristine and Trees Green after the Tsunami?

    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...

    Pulau Weh - Are Corals Pristine and Trees Green after the Tsunami?

    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...
