Ria Tan visited the dark and murky waters of an oil-slicked Tanah Merah on Friday. She was trying to photograph a gianormous squid during a predawn trip on Friday when this even larger THING silently swam towards her!

“Once a year, four days after the full moon on the fourth month, our corals spawn” said Jeff during a recent briefing. Wow!
We were afraid that our corals wouldn’t be up to it due to the massive coral bleaching last year. But our corals did mass spawn again! Thanks to Mei Lin and Jeffrey Low for sharing photos and stories and video clips, we get a glimpse of what went on.

Four dives at my favourite local spot. We were blessed with great visibility and that the critters came out to play. Currents picked up at night dive (ain’t easy to take pictures in strong currents) and had to abort the dive. 🙁 Read the rest of this entry »

Weather was holding up from the rain filled days before the monthly trip, and we set off on the boat at 930am, with some divers whom have never dived in singapore waters before. The Sea was calm, and the weather was good. When we arrived at Pulau Hantu, I checked the tide tables and realised there would be very strong current for the whole day. Hence we decided to dive at the western reef.

January 26, 2011 Sunsets, squid, stars, slugs and shrimp. What’s there to see if you go walkabout at Pulau Hantu during the low tide? More than you can possibly imagine.

Today, I joined Ria and the group for my first shore trip of the year, this time to Pulau Hantu. It’s my virgin trip to the island, and I was pretty psyched about it because it’s i’ve read about the place on various blogs such as the Hantu Bloggers . In fact, it’s also one of the better diving locations in the Southern islands mainly because of the rich biodiversity one can find in its watery depths. More

My last visit was in July 2010 during the tail end of the coral bleaching. None of the coral appeared to be bleaching this time round although there is a marked reduction in the amount of coral. Mudskippers (Periophthalmus chrysospilos) inhabit an area nearer the seawall. Typically skittish though this plump fellow appears to take a more easygoing approach to human presence. More
