Tenggol Illustrated: The FINAL part

Monday, October 12th 2009

Woke up to the soothing morning breeze and chirping sounds of the birds (And soooo relieved it wasn't the squeaky sounds of Mr Rat!). Our final dive of the trip, was to go where the James Bond movie Moon Raker was shot (or so I was told). I'm obviously not a J. Bond buff, so I couldn't tell fact from fiction. For more info on the 11th installation of the James Bond spy movie series starring Roger Moore (not Sean Connery yo!), click here.

And so we started getting ready to go to this relatively new dive site, The Moonraker. It's reef apparantly stands 10m tall and has amazing nudibranches. This was the most relaxing dive throughout the whole trip and I really enjoyed myself this dive.

On the drive home, we made a pit stop at Dungun town for some Nasi Kukus Ayam Rempah which was excellent but soooooo the pedas!!

We then stopped for some keropok lekor shopping at Geliga (Temah ;P) Pantai Mak Nik atau nama Mat Salleh nye, Monica Bay. No joke, Monica Bay.

And so that concludes our Tenggol trip! We had great fun, thanks to all the divers and organisers. Can't wait to go diving again, but the thought of having to wait till next year just kills me!!!!!!!
