Tioman 2005

Stian and myself went on a trip to Tioman Island in Malaysia after I finished my studies in Singapore. Awesome people, awesome diving!

04.30 in the morning in Singapore. Soon off to malaysia!

Rigth next to the bus station there was this super-cheap (and also super crappy) shopping mall selling fake goods

Another pic from the bus-station

Stian ready

We met some girl that was also going to Tioman

Closing in on Mersing

...and we're there. First leg completed!

Yup, it's a crappy photo

The weather wasn't all that when we left Mersing

Still two happy dudes!

Yup, happy!

Closing in on Tioman island the weather was a lot better

These speed-ferries are old and crappy, but their engine certainly is not an we reached speeds of almost 50 knots!

There were a lot of animals on this island. These monkeys were always around, but never harmed anyone (that I could see)

Catherine from South-Africa was there with her fiancé and his younger brother

Now this was something else. Like Ben said, some ladies can just come on a little tooo strong. Like pure alcohol.

Ben, boss of the Tioman dive center and a really nice guy!

Believe it or not, I'm not the drunken one!

And the drunks' litle brother. Nice fellow!

Enriched air

My gear's ready

Stian soon figured that diving was the shit! :-)

All geared up with dual-enriched plus 50% decomp oxygen
