This gallery is a visual log of a dive trip. The scenes are collaged from my trips to Sipadan (Borneo, East Malaysia), Manado (Sulawesi, Indonesia).
Sipadan, Mabul Islands, and Manado - probably the best dive destinations in Asia.
Just fabulous - some of the world's best diving spots right at our backyard. These marine life pics are mainly from Sipadan/Manado - cannot do justice to the wealth of life in these seas - you've got to see them for yourself. Soon after the trip to Sipadan, the Malaysia Government announced the closure of diving resorts on Sipadan Island - now you have to stay at Mabul Island or do a LOB trip to see Sipadan.
All underwater photo credits to my dive buddy, Loo-Kwong.
I've got my hands full with dry photography already.......
These images were all re-edited - the older ones had a color-cast problem).

Hey Loo! You got your all the pix you need to make calendars for the next three years!! Fantastic shots. Brings back memories of a trip we took with Loke and your army buddies to Tioman, where we fished the ocean dry of garoupas! But a lot more fun to be under water than above it, don't you think!

Nice blog Gul. Reminds me of my trip to Lombok , Manado and some dive shots looks like it's from Fiji Island. How come I don't see the coral walls in Manado? What kind of camera was used underwater? We should go on a dive trip together. Regards, Alec.
