Throwback Escape – Snorkeling @ Pulau Payar, Kedah

Can’t believe time passed so fast. My virgin snorkeling was one year ago! I still remember the awesome escape; it’s a memorable escape for me. Kinda miss the moment right now = (

Snorkeling is not easy as I thought. You need to know how to breathe well by using the snorkel (if you don’t know how to swim, like me). You also need to know how to turn your body if you’re wearing the life jacket or else, you will look like turtle floating at the sea. It’s true! Do not choose the wrong size life jacket, don’t too big or don’t too small. Make sure it’s fit to your body.

The happy FAT me . P/S : Ignore the tired face

This is my first waterproof camera. Stupid me should bought it at nearby camera shop before heading to Payar but I didn’t. So I bought it with expensive price at the platform. It’s much cheaper if you bought it at normal camera shop. The camera is only for one time use, and I was thinking to keep the camera as memories but stupid camera shop throws it away – make me sad to the max.

So what left is the photo taken by the waterproof camera.

Oh ya! Not to forget
I’m highly recommended Langkawi Carol if you planning to have snorkeling trip to Pulau Payar. It’s much more expensive but worth it because you will snorkeling around the platform instead of beach side. Trust me! Snorkeling at platform is much more fun than snorkeling at beach side.

You know why?

You can’t imagine how many fish is surrounding you. Some even bite your leg, may be too hungry? *evil smile* Anyhow, get set with your snorkel and mask and see the world under the water. For me, that’s amazing and beautiful.  You can even see a NEMO !

Yes! At the platform, there’s a mini underwater world as well. I took many photos of this underwater world actually, just like to enjoy seeing many kinds of fish swimming here and there. It’s really beautiful.

And this was my favorite, the fish is really huge.

Ok, the actual schedule of the package should be – Snorkeling at the platform, then buffet lunch around 12, snorkeling at the beach (will go by mini boat), then viewing the carol by boat .. End at 3pm.

But we was out of the actual schedule as we swam to the beachside by our self and walk to the snorkeling place at the beachside. And then swam back to the platform, by the time it’s lunch time. After had our lunch, the others was taking boat to the beachside and we was enjoying sunbathing at the platform and took our water bath before they heading back to the platform.

While the others was busy bathing, we already done. So we took boat to have carol view

So yea, bottom part of the boat was made by window glass. You can see the carol under the water. It took about 10~15mins minutes for this.

Feeding the fish while waiting others to done.
Ferry reached around 3pm and it took 2hours to reach Penang. Everyone is sleeping in the ferry,so do me!I’m really missing the escape and wish I could go again. *finger cross*
