Second dive site was Champion Wreck, named so because it’s off Champion Oilfield.
This site has a wreck that’s fully covered with corals. These pictures do not do any justice to the majestic of what the naked eyes, or eyes through the face mask, can see.
And two more short video clips at the site:

Postponed these for too long but here they are.

Due to the equalising problem I faced in my last dive, I googled and found a few forums addressing the problem. One suggested this link to a BSAC page which I found extremely helpful on ear clearing methods. Every diver should have this knowledge really.

But the water throughout the day was a little choppy. Han Peng, my Brunei dive buddy, suffers from seasick very easily and that day was no exception. On surface interval, he had headaches and had difficulty eating solid foods. It was as if what he said suddenly opened up a door in me and I […]

Han Peng has been telling me about this very good divemaster, Azli I think is his name, that knows the best diving spots around Brunei so yesterday I finally decided to give it a try. It is also high time I checked out what the local dive spots have to offer.
The day started with waking […]
