Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpar

the world's 2nd highest towers, these hardly disappointed, and were even more beautiful by night in KL a city of skyscrapers and palm trees!

The town of Butterworth!!

on hearing about this town on the Peninsula Malaysia, we had to go, just a shame Kate wasn't recognised in this transport hub!!

Diving at Sipadan - Shark warning!

as Kate gave the sign, our friend thought it would be a good photo, he didn't see the shark behind him!!!!

Lion Fish

around the old oil rig, were many wierd and wonderful fish including this very poisonous lion fish - beautiful to see though!

Giant school of Barracuda fish

a dark cloud passed overhead.....2000 or more barracuda fish, incredible to see!

getting close to the barracudas

just some of the 2000 or more!

Turtle!

we had to put this photo on, one of the best shots we got of a turtle, and there were many turtles here at Sipadan

Crocodile fish!

hard to tell it from the wreck.....

but it could be a scorpian fish....we're not totally sure though!!

Pigmy Sea Horse

we watched for more than 5 mins as our eagle-eyed dive master searched for something amogst the pink coral tree......he pointed out this miniscule being, no bigger 3mm - the rare and very well camouflaged pink pygmy seahorse is the world's smalllest - it was a cutie!!
