Life on Mabul island, specifically Sphere Divers Lodge, is an interesting experience itself. I said that this trip is an expedition, actually it's worse (or better, depends on how you look at it). I mean, which expedition will allow you to have nothing to do from 10am onwards?? On average we clock 2 dives a day, sometimes dawn dive at 6am, followed by 2nd dive at 830am, and that's it! Nothing else for the day, no wifi, no electricity until evening. Killing time was a learnt skill. Survival skill.
Some of the things we did.
Top left: play guitar. Bottom left: waiting for meals. Top right: having meals. Bottom right: sit around and chit chat. Oh, we also did PT before dinner. That was usually the non-diving highlight of the day. Best way to kill time was to nap. But not in the room, too stuffy. On the benches, sometimes there are sea breezes.
