Hammerhead diving!

Our last big dive trip was the Similans (off Andaman sea) dive trip in 2011 - we were rewarded with a 45min dance with a big white manta ray.

The same group plus an elephant regrouped this month for some hammerhead shark diving at Layang Layang (off Borneo).  We were rewarded on our second dive with hammerhead shark viewing!  Everyone absolutely ecstatic.

What's left on my to-see list for scuba diving before I retire?  Whale shark, or any whale!

I leave my photos to speak for the fantastic dive trip with the pelagics : manta ray, marble ray, turtles, huge schools of tuna, jacks, baraccudas and of cos the hammerhead sharks.

I didn't know that Layang Layang was part of the disputed Spratly Islands until Alfred told me.  Sure am glad no one shot at me when I ran on the naval base part of the landing strip that is closed to public.
