Semporna, Sabah

I didn't know how to make a proper itinerary (doesn't feel to do so). But let's try! Here we go;

Camera:

• I am using Canon 6D and shoot in RAW format. Edited in Lightroom.
• For action camera, thought of buying gopro (but i rarely take selfie and might seldom use action cam) so bought yi cam semata-mata for underwater moment (which surprisingly satisfied me with the outcome)

Swimming Kit:

• As a muslimah, it's pretty inconvenient to swim with a tracksuit/t-shirt. (tak rasa free bila swimming) Better buy a swimsuit or wear something that can easily dry-fast. maybe jersey type material?
• Bought my swimming attire from ogival  (a well known brand, which fully cover your aurat from top to bottom, plus longgar pula) since i have been swimming regularly so it's worth it.
• Bring along minyak angin (boleh kejang kaki while swimming. helpful in case anything) + mabuk laut pills (if u are not confident for a boat ride) + minyak gamat (luka sebab coral ke). pandai-pandai lah hidup. i memang minah minyak. nak minyak apa? kapak? serai wangi? kayu merah? bam pala? vicks? yuyi cap limau? semua ada haha
• After sun gel 
• Sunblock
• Mineral water
• Snacks
• Skills :D (snorkel without a life jacket is definitely a freedom!)

Bestest package deal dan mudah sangat nak deal from D'One BBM (click to view their FB). Prices of the package would be cheaper if more people in a group.

Summary, Bohey Dulang:

• Hike 600m up  for a magnificient view!
• On my way up, tak kira muda atau tua, ada yang muntah lah pening lah etc. Don't underestimate that 600m is nothing. Make sure you, at least, excercise reguarlaly before this trip.
