Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone!
So I’m back from my first diving experience! Somehow this trip seems like a backpacking trip, make many new friends coming from all over the world. Some are experience diver and some are noob just like me. The travel from SG to Pulau Aur took quite some time. We first board a 6hrs bus ride into eastern part of Malaysia then transfer to a speedboat which shuttle us to the ferryboat (due to low tide) and the whole boat ride took another 4hrs. By the time we reached Pulau Aur it’s already 4.30AM in the morning.
The whole travel was just dark as we set off in the evening from SG. This is how the ferryboat looks like with double-deck bed and fully air conditioned. It’s past 11pm by the time we board the ferry and most of us are either sleepy or suffering from sea sick haha. Trust me I had a good 4hrs of Viking boat ride. It was pretty fun and exciting to be sleeping in it because you will be woken up in shock as the waves hit randomly!
this is the diver resort in Pulau Aur.
The room is simple afterall it’s just a place for you to rest as most of the time you will be out in the sea
Does this remind you of the game Fishing Joy? haa
My good friend who is also my buddy for this diving trip! We came out with all kind of hand signals to be used in water. Some signals are just hilarious!
I call them the Residence of Pulau Aur.
This is my group! We are the noob diver:)
While waiting for our Dive Instructor, we do what we best at “leh-pak one corner”!
Our BBQ dinner! Other than the clear water & nice scenery the other thing I liked most is the FOOD! That includes Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks and DINNER!

We had a total of 4 dives in this trip (3dives on Sat and last one on Sun morning) and the last dive which is the above pic was the most fun and memorable! We started the dive with sunny weather and ended with a stormy rain! Thanks to my waterproof iPhone case which was given to me by my fans if not we might not get these shots. =)
