Tioman - Season Ender (Underwater)

Divesite: Chebeh (Tioman Island)

Not just a Cushion starfish but look closely and you are likely to find macro creatures living on the starfish. Compare the size of the shrimp with that of my thumb (on the bottom left of picture).




Not sure which but it is either a Starfish Shrimp (Periclimenes soror) or Emperor Shrimp (Periclimenes imperator)



"Blue dragon" Pteraeolidia ianthina Nudibranch.
Some info provided on an earlier post - Recent Tioman Dive - Nudis


Goby on a hard coral.


Anemone clownfish or now very commonly referred to as "Nemos".




Batu Malang or Rock of Misfortune. Great site for both snorkeling and diving.
For this trip, we skipped the dive at this site and snorkeled for a change. It was lovely!



Beneath the surface.



Lots of hard corals...



Sunbeams dance around to light the world beneath...



Colourful coral fishes go around their daily business...



Its great to see the fishes just swimming around you...



Oops... the speedboat.

beautiful.... I have never gone diving... it must be wonderful, almost like another world. I may someday...but not for a long while yet. Thanks for sharing.

Those are just fantastic photos. My fella, Tony, has done a lot of underwater photography and he was very impressed and enjoyed the photos a lot too.
