Sipadan Friends at Sea

Relaxing on the rig after a hearty lunch of fresh fish, squid, prawns, chicken and mixed vegetable.

From left: Canadian Josh, who teaches English in Taiwan. This guy can speak Chinese. Cool. Maybe not a whole lot but enough la.

The girl behind my wife, Jessica, is June Pak. She is Korean and just finished medical school during housemanship. Right now, she is taking time off to dive and chill away from home.

IN the next picture, June with Jessica on the beach front near the Jetty to Sipadan.


Danish model, Pil, with Jessica, after coffee break from our morning dive at Drop-Off and Barracuda Point.
Swiss Romain leaving us in gags when we realized he was trying to get the coffee out of the point. Finally, Oooh, just depress the top cover. Wondering how coffee pots in Switzerland works.
A nice group picture before we jump onto the speedboat for our next dive. From Left: Pil and her Danish boyfriend, Nikki, Peter (from England), and another Danish, Helle, who is on a year long break with her boyfriend to explore life beyond the comfort of their home.

Last day picture. Taking the lift from the rig to the waiting speedboat at the bottom. The tall guy is Helle's boyfriend, Michael. Real cheeky dude who's playful and fun to have around.

Enjoyed fresh coconuts on the way to Tawau from Semporna. Got a video of them scraping the flesh off the nuts. Messy business.
Hmmm. This is Yong, one of the rig's divemaster who took us around. This guy has gone to 60 meters depth. Just for fun to feel how drunk he can get with his buddy. I wouldn't want to be his buddy, you can count on it. Sixty meters is a long way up to the surface.
Long long way.







Here are some pictures of the fabulous people we met on the Rig in our dives. More to come....
