Under The Sea: Tenggol
We added a dive on our last day and made it to a total of 6 dives in 2 days. Taxing but SO MUCH FUN! Of course, I took abit of time to adapt myself during the first two dives - got slightly anxious on my first backroll, kept looking at the pressure gauge ensuring I have enough oxygen supply, and busy chasing the ends of my dive mates worried that I might lose them in sight.
One thing to keep in mind when diving at Tenggol - trigger fish alert! These ferocious fishes attack and bite people and being the clumsy me as always, I almost kicked one. Not avoiding it, but went straight into it - yeap, that’s me. The choppy water and strong current frightened me a little on our second dive, where i slapped straight into the corals while descending, and made my knee bleed. That’s how accident-prone I am. Very quickly enough, I gained my posture and was already in awe with the beautiful surroundings.
My favorite of all would be the cute little boxfish, and I was lucky enough to have saw two playing with each other. What I liked about the dive sites at Tenggol is that the waters and its marine life are (still) very well-preserved. Corals are healthy and made underwater world very beautiful and colourful - as if we are swimming in a huge aquarium.
