May 17th, 2012.. here we go again.. another dive trip. this time, to Brunei.

As usual went with my dive buddies, Julie Lee, Lena Lee & Kenneth Sia.

To be honest, i never heard of Diving in Brunei, and was pretty much sceptical about it.. saw them at a booth during MIDE, saw great awesome photographs.. and the dive instructors told us 2 things and that convinced me.
1. Its still pretty much a virgin site and most people never even heard of brunei as a country for diving. Thus, fish is more curious about you, and tend to be friendly and not swim away unless you get too close.
2. World War 2 Wrecks! American Wreck and Australian Wreck.. around 30 meters.

And i am not disappointed. I am trully trilled and enjoyed my stay there.. except some minor hickups regarding weight belts, which both the partners apologized..

Here is the link to their website, if anyone’s interested. http://www.oceanic-quest.com/

Now, regarding my photographs, Instead of having my photos listed out one by one.. i’ll just list them out categorized Smile
