Scuba love.

Pictures, finally! (:

I still think scuba diving was such a blast. And I still miss Tioman.

Anyhow.

These pictures are but a glimpse of what we did there because there’s nothing quite like experiencing things for yourself.

In addition to photos from my camera, other photos courtesy of Uncle Francis, Raja, and Edison.

What I’m thankful for: good weather, good company, safety, being healthy enough to go diving

What I loved: Sun, sea, and sand (: boat rides, hanging out, relaxing, blue skies, clear waters, watching the sun set, stargazing, falling asleep and waking up to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks everyday

What I miss: pretty much everything (with the exception of the what I don’t miss list, see below)

What I don’t miss: blocked noses/ears, sand flies, and the taste of salt water in my mouth

Scuba diving was: a blast, an amazing, unrivaled experience, which completely rocked my socks.

I would: go diving again in a heartbeat.

So many stories to tell. Good times, good memories. Definitely.
