tioman island scuba diving

i love scuba diving! mum, dad and i just spent 5 days south of here on an island called Tioman in the South China Sea. We took a 90min ferry from the mainland there and stayed at the Berjaya resort.

I took the PADI Open Water Diver course with another family from Kuala Lumpur...6 teenagers and their dad.the water was overall really clear and warm, we had to do a few training dives in the pool because the waves were too big but most of the time we dove at Reggnis Island, about a 5min boat ride from the beach. Among other things we saw turtles, nemos, sting rays, and eels!

here are a few pictures...
