21 AprilThis is the earliest we've been up - 5h45, we have to be at the dive shop at 07h15 to prepare for the dive at Redang. Redang Island is a Turtle and marine sanctuary/national park, divers rarely get the opportunity to visit the sights as the costs for the dive are very expensive. We were lucky in that we arranged to go to Redang Island to do our deep dive and pay for an additional fun dive there. We head down to long beach only to find all the shops still ...

20 April We overslept a little this morning but luckily it was not too much of a problem. We head down for breakfast and afterwards I run to other accommodation halfway across the Island (10 minutes) to ensure they kept a room for us (it's cheaper than where we stay now). He doesn't want to take the money but promises me that there will be a room available for tonight. I head back to the jetty where leanne ensured the water taxi taking us to the large Island di...

19 AprilToday we postponed the dive, Dell informed me at 06h00 this morning (yes we were asleep) that the technician will be coming to the island and will meet me at 14h00. We head down to breakfast and spend the rest of the morning reading up on the wreck and night dive which were planned for tomorrow. 12h00 the technician calls me to inform me that he is early, suits me fine. Dell promised me a new improved motherboard and chip, not the case - I get the same mo...

18 AprilThis morning we got up a little earlier than usual for vacationers - just before 8 to be in time for breakfast and walked across the island to Long beach where our water taxi was waiting to take us to Turtle bay divers on the large Island, Besar Perhentian. We arrived, signed in, made the necessary payment and met our instructor. Brie (Breanne) began a brief review of the theory to ensure we had it properly under control, before explaining where we would ...

17 AprilWe rose after 10 in the morning after a long and deserved sleep, from here we headed down to the restaurant for our toast and coffee breakfast. From there we walked down to the beach, grabbed two sun benches where we soak up some sun before the heat starts to push us towards the shade. I head to some of the locals to rent fins, mask and snorkels and we set off for the reef only 15 m from the side. You can swim out about 80 m to a wooden deck where one can...
