Diving today at Hantu was an eye opener, visibility was as expected, not fantastic at 2-3 metres, the water was filled with sediments but there were corals! Quite a bit too and alot of fish and other unusual creatures. Sea horses, Starfish, Nudibranches, Flat Worms, A giant Sea Urchin! At Hantu, you trade quantity for diversity. 

Diving was tiring though, and my lungs are quite sore now.  It might be because my technique is bad. I need to work on my buoyancy control. I was struggling, really strugging, to stay submerged on the first dive and even kicked Debby by accident, my guide and buddy who's really experienced, and kept pointing out the more unusual creatures to be. Thankfully there was some improvement on the 2nd dive, although towards the end, when my tank was almost empty, the same problem cropped up again and I am sure she must have found it a hassle babysitting this amateur. Sorry!
