The Tioman experience

For the past one week, I have had a great experience during my stay at Tioman Island. We had a variety of fun activities to do such as snorkeling, hiking and jetty jumping. The most fun activity would be snorkeling. Before Malaysia Week I was very afraid of the ocean and thought that it was a horrible place to be. I would imagine being eaten by sharks, tangled in the tentacles of octopuses or even swept away from the strong current. However the minute after we passed the beautiful corals, my jaws dropped. It was spectacular. The sea looked like the corals from movies, they were colorful, full of life and have a big diversity of fishes and corals.

It was beautiful the ocean had a large diversity of fishes. We were on a search to find fishes like parrot fishes, damsel fishes and clown fishes. All in all it was a great time in the ocean and the biggest achievement that I have accomplished was overcoming the fear of the ocean.
