Phuket Pics (Open Sea)

Now for the main focus of the trip...Open Sea DIVING. Unfortunately we didn't have an underwater camera, so no pics inside water :( Maybe next time. Ok here goes...
.
We dived with Eden Divers on our 1st and 3rd dive day. This was Sea of Fantasy I. Triple decks. This pic was copied from www.edendivers.com
.
This was Sea of Fantasy II. Smaller boat
.
This was captured at the pier at Chalong Bay, where we boarded on our boats every day
.I like this shot. The dark clouds about to cover the sun
.Thunderstorm approaching at the sea
.A distant island
.
Sherene & me
.Well, the journey to Phi Phi Island took 3 hours. So we played the game 'Mafia' to kill boredom. This was Janielle accusing Jacky for something while Andrew looked on
.Can you see the evil intentions underneath that 'innocent' smile?
.
Janielle victorious after 'killing' off all unsuspecting civilians
.
The father and daughter of mafias. They actually eliminated everyone in the game. Beware of them!
.
Group shot near Phi Phi Island
.
All of us posing for the camera
.
Just Sherene & me
.
The girls posing for my continuous shots
.
The girls doing their version of Charlie Angels' kick for my continuous shots. This was the last of the frames
.
On the left was Holger Muller, our German tour leader briefing us before one of the dives
.
This was me before doing a giant stride into the deep blue sea
.Ps John, our dive instructor in his usual t-shirt and shorts, about to join us
.
Can you spot us amongst other divers. This was at Phi Phi
.
Sherene on Sea of Fantasy II. Enjoying the wind while waiting to dive
.

My gears amongst others. Jeff's fins (grey-black) were on the floor (thanks man for lending me your booties-fins)
.
Spotted a fisherman boat nearby our boat
.
These were few "souvenirs" I collected underwater. From corals, sea urchins. And with all the toxins from eating seafood, I suffered itchiness for almost a week after the trip!
.
Oh well, since we don't have pics from underwater, at least got some shots from an aquarium. Haha! This was one big eel. But not nearly as big as the muray eel we actually saw underwater
.
Blacktip sharks
.

Nemo
.
Giant lobster
.
Another type of eel
.


Gosh! My blog is now filled with photos! I've at least one more post to go...till my next post.
