Woke up and was on the other side by 8:30AM. Mat shaved off his mustache for a better seal on his scuba mask. We had 30 min breakfast and we're ready to knock out our next skills at 9 AM. We made quick time of them before the boat came. There were two groups of fun divers and a pair that just wanted to snorkel. We did our first dive at 'Coral' off of Koh Kon Island, just north of Koh Rong Sanloem. We saw a cuddle fish, two blue-spotted stingrays, Crown of Thorns, on top of all the other cool coral and critters to see; big clams and giant rose-like coral. It was time for lunch when we surfaced. Stir fry this time.

Shop dog Pasha looking cute for attention... it definitely worked :-)
We did our 200m swim and our snorkel skills then headed to 'Vietnamese Bay' for our second dive. The current was really strong so after our skills, we let go of the anchor and we floated passively, going by the coral too fast to enjoy. Nothing interesting much beyond the coral so we finished our dive early and did a couple skills on the surface. The boat motored back to Saracen Bay by 3pm. We had a local Klang beer and relaxed for an hour before heading back over to Sunset beach where we swam and watched the sun set. Showered then a lovely dinner at Robinsons before bed. The mosquitos seem to be pretty bad tonight so we'll try sleeping with the bug mesh down.
