A Personal Unchartered Terrority

Aieeee, I've been surrounded by divers these past couple of days. These people seem to love being underwater more than they do on land. The investment is a hefty one especially if you are into underwater photography. Check out the pic below of an Olympus underwater camera gear.



Still, it has been a very interesting two days for me, learning about the marine treasures that Miri has to offer. It's amazing to note that this one town has over 20 superb dive sites teeming with beautiful corals and marine life. Almost makes me wish that I could dive.

Oh well, we'll see about that. First and foremost, I have to be rid of my phobia of having my face submerged in water. Not sure if that fear can ever be overcome. Hmmm.

Today when the barge stopped to let down the divers, I experienced a wave of sea sickness. The motion sickness pills courtesy of a ship mate did help but it knocked me out for six. I slept like a baby in the air-conditioned cabin on the bunk bed while the rest of the divers went underwater to clean the reef. :-P
