Back from Redang, had a horrible time with the 10-odd hour busrides to and from Marang. The next time I go, i'm just gonna pay for the air ticket straight there. Overall, visibility was poor, and I was afflicted by DCS (headaches) after most dives. Naturally, the dives I skipped were the good ones, and I missed the turtle and shark sightings. My reef dive revealed a large number of Crown-of-Thorns sea stars feeding on hard coral, leading me to worry for the future of the local reefs. Overall, it was a decent new experience, a good change from our usual destinations, though it seems that every time I go diving, we have poor timing and just miss the good conditions. Hopefully this trend will change soon.

Heading to PM later to help prepare for the expedition tomorrow. It's a pity I can't go with them, having already signed up for the SailSmart Instructor Course. At least it will finally be out of the way, and Jaslyn will be able to relax.
