We spent three days on the Seaventures dive rig exploring the underwater worlds of Mabul, Kapalai and Sipidan. The rig was pretty basic and still smelled like a rig or ferry. It is a rusting hulk planted about 500m off the coast of the island of Mabul. It was strange walking around it, I kept feeling like it should be moving like a ferry, it was hard walking down the corridors in a straight li... Read Full Entry

We hope to instil in our daughters our love of travel, of exploring, of discovering. We are full of ideas and excitement, just waiting for our chance to see more of the world and bring them along with us. We're pretty slack at blogging though! There's so many trips not here.... full info

Diving Mabul
Sorry to hear that the diving wasn't that great! As you know, we had great diving there. The weather does make a big difference, but there's no excuse for the rubbish! That must be one of Asia's biggest problems. By the way, that scorpionfish is called the Smallscale Scorpionfish (in our marine book). Did you stay on Mabul or just the rig? Keep at it and enjoy!

Thanks for the scorpionfish. We ended up just staying on the rig in the end. If the weather had been better while we were there, we probably would have had another day or two on Mabul. The diving was great, just not mind blowing - we saw your pics from the other month and it certainly looks like you did have fantastic diving. Oh well, maybe another time, another place ;o)
