Woke up as early as 3.50am on 18/3/2008! of coz sleepy…plus too excited and cannot really catch a good sleep the night earlier. Our flight to Tawau took 2hours n 45mins…that was quite long though…and stupid me to pick the emergency exit seat…while totally cannot recline my seat…arghh…torture for the 2 hours plus…after reaching Tawau airport, we took 1 hour+ van journey b4 reaching Semporna jetty…following that was another 45mins speed boat ride and finally we reached Seaventures…the oil rig! Not easy rite?
Haven't fully wake up ar...still blur blur
The oil rig…
Hrm…how should I describe Seaventures? Ambience is OK except for not getting to walk about on the sandy beach during SI…
Food was reasonably OK except for lacking of choices and variety...
Room is just marginally OK except for the toilet which is a bit 'not pleasant'…water there also not totally fresh…its like half salted....
The diving experience & marine life…
Overwhelming is the word to describe!
A lot of those fishes and macros which i've never seen b4. Imagine u r surrounded by schools of fishes...swimming around u freely. Somehow i would say that u dont need to swim around...just stationary there and the fishes will swim by in front of u...amazing!
Fish are generally bigger size over here....quantity is generally higger...
Superb healthy corals! words cant describe....just imagine u r swimming in an aquarium!
Vis is just OK to me...but others said its good...maybe my expectation is superbly high?
Boat journey...
Distance boat ride to Sipadan Island, it took about 30mins. Imagine the strong wind hitting your wet body on ur way back for 30mins? u can really see many 'shaky divers'. Hence, whoever going please remember to bring ur dry towel or dry cloths to change if u dun wan to catch cold.
Sick divers...
Few divers falled sick...not sure whether too excited diving or because of the cold weather. Its been raining for the 1st 2 days....even our MSDT instructor also not in tip top condition for diving...haha
Flight delayed...flight delayed!!
of coz i would blame Air Asia for this...our return flight was delayed for almost 4 hours! being stranded at the airport for 6 hours! Not the mention the miserable 'compensation meal' provided by Air Asia...By the time reached LCCT...its already past mid night and taxi fare almost doubled! super rugi!
Conclusion...must try to go at least once a year...thats my goal! Next round gonna save more money so that can stay at Sipadan Water Village...awesone! :P
