I just had two wonderful days of diving off the Perhentian Islands.
My dive master, Najib, a Malay, gave me a brief refresher course and then
we went out for three dives to local sites just off our beach resort. The
coral was beautiful and we saw many fish, including sting rays and turtles.
The second day we went to sites off of outlying islands where we saw large
schools of fish and a sunken ship site filled with huge schools of fish.
We also saw schools of large squid, about 8" in size. We dove all around
the ship and went inside for awhile to see what was there. We saw lots
of large mussels about 6" in size.
I am traveling to Sri Lanka in October 2011 for a two week bicycle trip organized by Exodus Tours, encircling the southern half of Sri Lanka, stopping at Buddhist shrines, tea plantations, wildlife preserves, and coastal beaches. In route to Sri Lanka, I will stop in Hong Kong to visit friends and go to a jazz festival; go to a rotary project site near Angkor Wat in Cambodia; visit Penang, Perhential Islands, and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia; and stop by Singapore.
