My Vios TRD with Dive Flag

DMT

I have an awesome weekend at Perhentian Island, enjoyed working with people to do something good to the environment and as a part of my Dive Master Training too.. It was a worldwide program under Reef Check Malaysia and Persatuan Pengusaha-Pengusaha Pulau Perhentian, Terengganu. Also join by other dive centre like Watercolours, Turtle Bay Divers and Bubbles Dive Centre.

I stayed and dive with Watercolours Paradise Resort and Dive Centre on Perhentian Besar. Great food, chalet with the sea view, very friendly staff and sandy beach ("Perfect!") . It was a lots better than my prev trip to Perhentian.

COTs catch on 2nd day

Anyway thanks to my dive buddy Matt originally from German but stay in Malaysia which help to get into the PICD programme.. Also Benjamin a tall nice guy with camera - a good drinker and driver also. Not to forget DMT Azizi who been staying on the island for the past 3 month - Cool and harworking guy also Nadine a sweet and funny German Dive Instructor.

COT feeding on the corals

This cleanup removed the voracious Crown-of-Thorn Starfish from the coral reef. These starfish feed on coral polyps and are exceedingly difficult to get rid of, as they can regenerate from a lost limb. Therefore, the clean-up will collect these starfish and bury them where they can't harm the reef.

We managed to collect more than 500 COTs and bundles of garbage during the beach cleanup. I also got stung by one of the COT during surface interval but it was just a minor injury. Hope will come back and join more conservation project to protect our oceans and marine life.

During the 3 days dive we spotted a school of barracuda, green turtle, nudis, blue spot stingray, angelfish, puffer fish, stout longtom and many more...
