Diving Pulau Dayang 3-5 Aug 07

Went diving over the 3 Aug weekend. Was supposed to go Tioman but the island was booked out (yes this is not a typo, the ISLAND was booked out), as such we ended up at Dayang. I have never been to Dayang before so was kind of glad that we went there.

Dayang island is beautiful with a white sandy beach. The dive sites are pretty much the same as those diving from Aur. The first dive was embarassing as I could not decend. This is beacuse I could not purge the air from my new Salvo Back Plate BC. After a few attempts, I realised that I have to be upright to purge the air (bummer!!). After i got used to my new BC, the rest of the dives are just plain sailing (or rather sinking :p)

On the dive at Reynes rock, my group encountered a family of 18 bumphead parrot fish. That was truely a sight to behold. This sighting alone is well worth the trip. Too bad my camera was having the day off, if not I would have beautiful pictures of the family of 'sea 罗汉' LOL
