Travels, oceans, and rock & roll dreams
Stepped onto a #pickleball court for the first time. Still miss hitting yellow fuzzy rubber balls because plastic balls with holes is frankly kinda sus.

They said that if I wanted to go further, I must train slower. I really underestimated the discipline it takes to train within Zone 2, but am starting to understand the state of mind needed to conquer the distance.

A whitetip #reef #shark calmly resting under a coral ledge. Unlike many open-water sharks, whitetips can pump water over their #gills while lying still, often using reef caves and overhangs as daytime shelters.

Don’t let the pretty #pink fool you. This is a leaf #scorpionfish, master of disguise and armed with #venomous spines. It mimics a drifting leaf to ambush prey and avoid #predators. Found resting motionless on #reefs, it sheds its skin every few weeks to stay #algae-free.

Shout out to the bro who pushed me through the last 300m to the finish line despite my leg cramps. Medic said my electrolyte game failed, so this is something I need to work on. But we finished! 🫠

The fabulous Mobula alfredi #reef #manta #rays are gentle giants of the #ocean, with wingspans reaching up to 5.5 meters! They’re filter feeders, gliding gracefully through the water as they scoop up #plankton.

The Chelidonura varians, also known as the Blue Velvet Sea #Slug or the hammerhead #nudibranch (tho it is not a true nudibranch), is a strikingly beautiful #marine slug known for its dark body with electric blue lines. Super excited to have found this on our night dive.

Went on a night #dive on a sandy bottom site and found this Thysanozoon nigropapillosum aka yellow dotted #flatworm — nature’s way of proving that polka dots never go out of style.

Spotted a Pseudobiceros bedfordi aka Persian Carpet #Flatworm gliding over the sandy bottom during our night dive. This stunning Indo-Pacific flatworm is known for its pretty, vivid and symmetrical #patterns.

The right of passage for every new #diver - finding and saying hello to #Nemo 😅 But honestly, experienced divers love #anemonefish too!

Open water course #dives with students taking their very first breath beneath the waves 🌊

Got home too late to hit the #gym, so this evening's strength training sets were facilitated by my lead #diving #weights 💪🏼

#Cuttlefish have W-shaped pupils, three #hearts, and some of the most complex brains in the #ocean. Their color-changing abilities also help with #communication and #camouflage during hunting.

It is #buoyancy skills day at the pool this morning! Remember to keep calm and #hover on 🧘🏻‍♀️

Confined water sessions today with students divers taking their very first breath #underwater 🤿

Encountered a beautiful school of #barracuda - silver, sleek, and moving as one. Their tight formation gives them both #protection and #hunting efficiency. Barracudas are fast, opportunistic #predators known for their streamlined bodies and sharp #teeth.

Spotting #manta #rays is always a breathtaking experience. These large #pelagic filter feeders have wingspans reaching up to 7 meters and possess the highest brain-to-body mass ratio of any #fish. They are classified as #vulnerable due to overfishing and habitat degradation.

Not quite back to my pre-Ramadhan timing, but okay lah considering the very short #training runway (and the crazy #elevations!).

Light #weights just to awaken the senses 🌸

Male #seahorses carry the babies. Let me repeat: Males carry the babies.

They get pregnant, give birth, and float around the reefs like aquatic ballerinas.

This little cube of cuteness is the Ostracion cubicus #yellow #boxfish. Juveniles are especially eye-catching with their bright color and black polka dots. Don’t get too close tho - when stressed, they can release harmful #toxins.

One of the first #dives I bring my open water students on is usually to see #clownfish, so that they can write in their logbooks that they found #nemo! Yeah, it never gets old 😅

I wanted to go diving this weekend... Tapi disebabkan semua #highway sedang jam, here I am on the #Skillmill collecting #mileage instead 🤸🏻‍♀️ Selamat kembali ke ibukota, everyone!
