Underwater Nature

So i know lots of u havent dived nor have u gone snorkeling so id just like to share with u some of the beauties of the life underwater. I know the pics mite seem so perfect but u get the idea its something similar jsut that the guy taking the photograph is really good .





Look at this image where the fishes suround the diver. Last time in Sipadan the baraccuda schools were so huge that when it swam in a circle it would block out the sun there used to be so may bumpheand fish that u couldnt see the corals right next to u . The vast variety and number or life underwater is decreasing DRASTICLY . My last trip the school of baracuda was only in the meer tenths maybe a hundred or maz 200. The bumpheads were just 40 in number and only one school could be found. The goverments idea of conservation which is moving all the operaters out of Sipadan was one of the DUMBEST things to do . as they thought us divers were poluting the corals reef when most of us were actually taking care of it. Operaters who didnt want to lose tourist would clean up the place so that the corals and beach wouldnt depleat but moving the operaters out made a big fire. Moving all the wood and things out of Sipadan polluted diving points such as the Drop Off and Baracuda Point as accidental dropping of items such as wood and so on. Even the army put on the island is suposedly SPEAR FISHIN decreasing the number of fishes. Tell me IS THIS CONSERVING? OR IS THIS MAKING SHYT UP! Moreover the goverment and the idea of 120 permits to go in is just BULLSHYT ! WHY CONTROL THE DIVERS! WHEN THEY CANT EVEN TAKE CARE OF THE ISLAND IN THE FIRST PLACE! They are jsut adding kerosene into the fire causing more disruption and chaos. Why destroy tourism on purpose when divers are one of the highest tourism contributers. its either they just wanna make money out of selling the permit making someone out there VERY RICH.
