Shark Hunting At Redang Island

First of all, to those who believed that my Redang Island trip was sabotaged by the agent – was my entry too convincing? Well, to be frank, it was pretty much a lame teaser for the trip.

Gotcha! *lame I know*


Redang Island!
Redang was fun and enjoyable. The place was great – albeit the warmness. Delicious food and cozy accommodation at the Laguna Redang Island Resort.

Basically, all we did was snorkel, sleep and eat – and the most important one – Shark Hunting. My main purpose to snorkel was to bump into a shark, so that I can make love touch it with my bare hands. So cool right?

Anyway, snorkeling was simply awesome! You get to see beautiful corals beneath the sea, colourful fishes swimming around you and hopefully, to meet a shark! *rawr!*

Here are underwater pictures of some of us while snorkeling/swimming – taken by the photographer in-charged.

Great hand gesture by Adrian! Kids, it’s a semi-peace sign – with one of the fingers lowered down.

Bubbly Chu with his “good” hand gesture. He was actually signaling the cameraman: “You’re good-looking!”

Lysa swims gracefully across the ocean. Kids, she’s showing the full-peace sign – with both fingers erected.

Ken is so yeng right? Say yes! YES!

By the way, these pictures cost us RM5 each. Kinda expensive but I guess it’s worth the price.

We were brought to 3 different locations to snorkel – the 1st one was the best. Crystal clear sea and the corals were amazing! The 2nd was at Marine Park. I was told that sharks and turtles do appear at that area but no shark appeared! *sighs* The sea wasn’t that clear either.

Finally, the 3rd snorkeling location was boring. Nothing much to see but we got to take the BEST picture of all!

Mummy!!! Come see!!!

SHARRRRKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!

  42. # BlurryLeoon 17 May 2009 at 2:05 PM

    dude, if you were staying at Laguna Redang, you should have just gone snorkeling right outside the beach outside of the hotel. there are baby sharks there. you’ll meet some if u are lucky. well, a bit small for you to ‘you know what’ with LOL. but still sharks.

    btw, nice refreshing theme :)

  43. # Dori-Lukeyon 17 May 2009 at 2:17 PM

    I don’t know…what does “yeng” mean? :P

    Anyways, nice pictures. Crystalline water, blue sky, nothing to worry about. What could be better than that right?
    Maybe taking a picture in the sea with a shard head right behind you? :D

  51. # Ron Jerem Leeon 18 May 2009 at 2:51 AM

  58. # hanseongon 18 May 2009 at 9:44 AM

    Wanting to let a shark brush past your hand would make for a very cool experience indeed.

    Especially considering the fact that the skin of your palm will be completely torn off once the shark’s done brushing past you!

    Unless, of course, that was your intention in the first place. =P

  59. # LithiumMindon 18 May 2009 at 10:09 AM
