I just got back from a diving trip to Sipadan, Malaysia .Even though I had a great time there,I still have the feeling that I have yet to really appreciate/explore the beauty of wall diving.:15a:
For those who have been to Sipadan will know that, most of the time, one can hardly see the bottom (the drop off is around 600m down) and it is something unique to me, because ever since I started diving, all those sites I have went to, I can ACTUALLY see the bottom :11ztongue
And so when I arrived at Sipadan and begin my diving vacation, I felt kind of helpless because I have no idea what to look out for when facing the wall.To make thing worst, the unpredictiable current always come at the wrong timing, ie before I can finish looking at one spot, I'm being swept to another spot (But I kind of enjoyed the drift diving) and diving horizontal also gave me a tired neck.
Given the unpredictiable current and the wall on the side, how can one actually see anything things other than those fishes that swam freely around us and those super big and unique nudibranch that stand out from it surrounding reef :06:
What do you guys look out for when doing wall diving :06:
