Day 5
Last day at
Mantanani island so we organised for a final snorkel. First though we had to
pack our things and vacate our rooms. Great boat trip this morning as the sea
was so calm. We started off at Mari Mari Garden and then swam around rocky
point and finished at Magic Rock. We had to swim through some really shallow
water and it was a challenge to keep you fins away from the coral. Oscar saw
one of the Asian diver hit some coral with his fins and knock off a piece about
the size of a toddler – he was astounded that the man didn’t even notice. It
was such a lovely day there were many snorkelling boats out – about 6 boats
were moored between the two Islands. Nick counted over 100 people get off the
other boats – looking odd bobbing around in their bright orange life jackets
while not one person on our dive boat needed a life vest. The snorkel this
morning was lovely and we were able to see many different fish, eels, sea
urchins, clams, and sea cucumbers. Back home we had a nice lunch and lazed
around snorkelling or sleeping until our return boat ride at 4pm, then our bus
ride back to Kota Kinabalu. Great dinner at the wet market in KK sharing
bargain seafood with the Wells family – I love paying RM20 (AUD$7) for a blue
swimmer crab.
