Sunday 22/4 Today we will do 3 dives. We all are really excited and ready to jump in the water! It took quite some time for them to fix the equipment, that we would have wetsuits, masks, fins, etc. Once we're done get into one of their motorboats and go out to a fox at Mabul. Turns on the equipment and rolls down from the boat's edge. The first dive was at a reef wall and on the other side we had the sandy bottom. Saw lots of fine fish, found several Nudebranches and 3st found me by myself. One of my goals as I dive is to find these little creatures!


Nudebranch😍

When you find something fun and have to show everyone! 😍 Then a thing that was quite frightening happened. I lay first in the lead because the instructor helped a guy at the back of the lead. So would just turn around to look at Sofie and Sofie. Then I see a Triggerfish swim against me in attack, really fast and swimming back but attacking my fins again and again!! I try to swim out quickly but I'm in panic and go uphill. Then it starts attacking the guy in our group, we all swim fast from there. I get into a bit of shock afterwards, get totally fun, but get together quickly, I can not panic under a dive. I got such a panic because I know Triggerfish is very aggressive and can be bitten hard if they want to. Do not be so lucky to get bitten and get a big scar of it. But it went well for everyone! The day continues with dive No. 2 Here we are at the Kapalai House reef. Thus, there are several houses they have put on the bottom for fish to live around. It was so cool to swim around here, felt like being in a city!


Have you ever tried to dive upside down? 😉 It's very funny actually hahaha!

Nemos😍 Saw very beautiful Lionfish, very poisonous fish as well. And thought it was so beautiful with all the corals that sat on top of and around the houses

Wonderful beautiful world to be in! Finally lunch break and we're just looking forward to sunbathing too!

Check out how nice it is and of course, a nice Sofie! ☀ Time for the last dive for today This was the best dive we had! You will soon see why😉 It was also in a place with some houses and boats, not as close to each other but we swam around to the different ones.

Strike a pose! Sofie and Sofie🌟

Here you can see a part of one of the big boats that lay down at the bottom First thing why this dive was best because we saw this giant turtle! So big and cool to see, he was sleeping😍


Sofie together with the turtle 🐢

Me and other Sofie!! We stayed and swam around here for a while, so cool to just check out! Not long after that we find 2 turtles but this time a bit smaller🐢


Also saw this one swim up to get air!
Continue the best dive to see this cool octopus!!! 😍

Have you ever seen an octopus wild in the ocean? This was something I really wanted to have the chance to see since they are very rare! It combines and we could see when it approached the sand bottom, change color suddenly🐙

Here you can see it on the right!😍 And the trip does not end here! A while after we swam away from the big octopus, our instructor points upwards and we all look up and meet all these little octopuses

So awesome!

Have you heard of crocodile fish? Nor did I until we found one, hiding under the sand in the middle of the picture🐊🐟 Each time you have been diving and basically every time you make a safety stop. Meaning that you stay around 5m in 3 minutes to lower the neutrogen levels in the body, reduce the risk of dysphagia as well.

What I do during these 3 min is this hahahah! Playing around or checking in fishes😉 Had a really good dive and we all were completely out after this day! But really successful and we had fun! 💕

Behind us you see the island of Mabul, here we wait for the boat
