Holidaying with Sharks and Turtles!
... and much more. We are still catching up on names of fishes and sea life we have seen over the last 2 days of marathon diving in the Celebes Sea south of Sabah, Borneo. We stayed in a dive resort in Mabul and did boat dives off the reef and the nearby Sipadan islands. I don't think words can even begin to describe the stunning array of experiences we have had in the last couple of days. Atleast 8-9 sharks and giant turtles highlighted our dives, not to mention the giant squid and dazzling coral reefs.Isabel finally reconciled to the fact that diving with reef sharks wasn't that bad after all. It also helped having a great dive group with 8 other Spaniards, who also happened to be experienced divers with some really sophisticated photography equipment.
The other major highlight was a 90 minute massage after diving that was the icing on the cake. Back to back diving, good company, some beer and a Philipino massage... what more could one ask for.
Well, there's more to go as we have 3 more days in Borneo. Off to Kota Kinabalu in half an hour as we travel by boat to the mainland and take a flight to the north side of Sabah to start our wildlife part of the trip - Orang Utans and maybe a spot of diving - again!
Sigh... it's a hard and busy life isn't it?

Hi guys. We are both super jealous after reading about your exploits OS. Sydney is missing you both already but the world seems to be welcoming you with open arms and warm sunshine. We look forward to more pics from Isabel's 'arm extension' and wish you happy trails…
