Diving @ Mabul Island part 3

The first part of this post is dedicated to the last dive, which personally was the best amongst the 11. There were too many fishes sighted to put everything into this post.

Top left: trigger fish. It was seemingly lying on the coral and "got awakened" as we approached. Luckily for us it swam away rather than attack. 
Top right: unknown. Bottom left: mantis shrimp. Bottom right: lionfish 

Top left: unknown. Top right: unknown. Bottom left: nudibranch. Bottom right: triggerfish 

A whole school of longfin batfish swimming within the wreck. 

Awesome school of unknown fish. Must have been hundreds! 

My favourite puffer shot. It was busy munching away at the corals and didn't swim away even as I went in close for a shot. Nice buck tooth, haha! 

My favourite moray eel shot, especially the one with its teeth showing. 

The 2nd part of this post is dedicated to the awesome people I was diving with. That's us!

Thanks to Azahar, our DM and co-owner of Sphere Divers, he shared many awesome and professionally taken shots of us diving.

And so we came across a structure that looked like a Double Dangle Duo, one of the high elements in OBS. Our OBS instructors Fong and Sham couldn't resist having a go at it!
