moonset
Early morning, the moon setting while the sun wakes up and shine the world! Isn't it amazing where you can watch the moon set on one side and the sun rise on the other?
That gorgeous moon actually waked Peter up at the early morning around 6 something and Peter just grabbed his nikon and straight out to the dive deck. Not diving but taking picture :)

Group photo time!
So since we
passed and got our license, we will do the rest of the few dives on
our own, paired with a buddy. So P&A will dive together on our
own! It is much better when we do it on our own, without the need to
practice skills, just us underwater looking at the beautiful corals,
turtles, touching the giant clam, watching
the christmas tree worm retract into their burrows when we touch it... =P It is so
beautiful and relaxing. At all times we have to look at the air tank
and it's time to go back up..

Almost time for night dive!!! Crazy EXCITING!!
The night dive is
really interesting; we followed a guide and went in a group. We hold
a torch light in our hands. At night, it is a different world
altogether. The bigger Red Bass hunting for small fish, turtle
sleeping under the rocks, reef shark swimming around swiftly... So
exciting! When we saw the turtles sleeping, we cannot shine the torch
at them because it will interrupt their sleeping as they only sleep 4
hours a day. Then all of us cover the torch with our hands, so it
went dark all of a sudden. But there are still light from the Moon.
Cool...
Then Joel caught a pufferfish in his hands, the poor fish bloated up immediately smaller than the size of a basketball. Joel then shone his torch into the fish's belly, which makes it looked like a lantern! How cute... LOL....
This night dive is an experience we never thought to have before~ It feels just amazing to explore the reefs at night and the whole atmosphere just feels so mysterious and exciting.
well done :-)
