After the usual all night party at Base Camp, we set off for Hantu

spots bats feeding over the sea...cool. |

06:45 Field trip to Hantu #5:
Tis morning and tide is coming in. So here's a better look at the
rich shores, just opposite a major industrial site. We had FABULOUS
visibility today. The water is unusually clear. So even though the
tide is coming in, it's still possible to shoot! |

white-tipped fat tentacles. |

A sad sight, a fish trap. Abandoned but still killing. This one had
a dead swimming crab in it. |

07:52 Field trip to Hantu #8:
The sun is rising, but it's another power-failure sunrise. The haze
is getting really bad and you can clearly see the layer over the horizon
when you're out at sea. |

07:58 Field trip to Hantu #9:
As the tide gets really high, we trudge back. Hantu is made up of
two islands which were enlarged through reclamation. There are paths
under tall mature trees, toilet facilities, three swimming lagoons
and lots of shelters. |

We're a bit late for the boat as we got distracted by the good water
conditions. The weather has been fabulous. Kok Leong is now absolved
of his title Rain Man :-) |

08:37 Field trip to Hantu #12 (last):
Time for a well-deserved nap on the boat ride home. Darn, I have to
go back to work in the afternoon :-( Well at least for this trip,
no one got stung by a stonefish :-) |
