Diving in Perhentian Kecil

About three weeks ago, I ran away from the city to this beautiful island for a weekend getaway. Pulau Perhentian is a little gem located in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia where it offers fine sandy white beach and beautiful marine world. Exactly what I needed for a little breather.

First time in Pulau Perhentian and my second dive trip of the year.

Quality fine sand beach and the weather was beautiful throughout the weekend.

Stayed at Bubu Resort. It’s the best resort on the island, or at least I was told. 
Overall it wasn’t too bad, at least it’s hygenic. But paying for a 5 star hotel rate but resort condition is an average 3 star hotel you get in the city, I’m not sure if it’s exactly value for money. (RM400 incl tax per night during peak season)

The dive centre called “Turtle Bay” where I hung out at most of the time. Logged in 5 dives on that weekend itself. Spotted a bamboo shark, lion fish, loads of colourful nudi branches and angel fishes, variety of big ass sting rays among others. Oh the sugar wreck dive was absolutely awesome too!

Watching sunset while enjoying alfresco dinner by the beach.

It was a very short break where I got to practiced buoyancy a little better and also learnt how to fight against current in the water.
Can’t wait for the next holiday already… counting down the days now!
