Under the sea

Good day lovelies 🙂 I’m back from Pulau Perhentian, Kelantan. Spent 5D4N at Shari – La Island Resort with The Quiver Dive Team. Oh, and yes, me is now certified open water and advance open water diver! I’m very proud of myself to have qualified for 2 licence in 4 days. Of course it’s not mission impossible (I did it) but it ain’t easy too! It’s stress and tiring.

I stayed at Coral Bay most of the time, but Long Beach is seriously more pretty :p sands are smoother (less rocks and shells) and it’s really a better place to snorkel.

I know I don’t look anywhere close to being good in this pic.. But this is the only picture I have with my instructor aka sifu – Vikki Reid. She’s from England. Strict on land but real fun under the sea 🙂

My other sifu – Small John, trained me well for night dive, 40minutes under 2.5metre. I think I improved a lot on controlling my buoyancy under that shallow depth.

Believe it or not, I love the feeling under the sea 🙂 it’s amazing! I was so excited swimming with the fishes, looking at them, spotting and identifying the livings of this mysterious world. It’s a whole new world to explore. Now Keeper is a Licensed EFR and Rescue Diver, my parents feels safer for me to dive with him. Hence… Definitely more diving trips.

Signing off, Sylvia.

    • oh no! i forgot about it 😦 didn’t have time to take picture of the hotel. it’s Shari-La Island Resort, you can google it though. i didn’t spend much time in the room. just 6 hours a day to catch some sleeps and shower 😛 but i am enjoying my life!

  1. hellow, i’m going to shari-la resort in august, so excited too..and plan to take open water…i wish i could take advance as well like u. My friend told me to take it step by step. so any recommend food at the island? they said the island is the best place for sunset…do u have time to enjoy the sunset?

    • I hope you enjoy ! Honestly, open water won’t satisfy you :p If you have 5D4N there, strongly recommend you to take advance water too! From Shari-la on the way by foot to Long Beach, there’s a restaurant/mamak there 🙂 food are way better and the owner is friendlier.

      You can find Small John to be your instructor if you are going beginning of August, he is funnier and chatty. Or find Vikki, my instructor. Which is strict but definitely taught me well.

      Feel free to email me if you need more info ! And hope you have an awesome trip !!
