I’ve compiled a video of some clips i took while diving in Malapascua, Philippines and Sipadan, Malaysian Borneo. There’s two versions for your viewing pleasure – a low resolution 9MB one and a better quality, high resolution 50MB one.

We enjoyed a 3 hour bus journey today aboard a beast of a bus, run by the D’Christ Bus Company (as in ‘Da Christ’ – a bit of ghetto slang mixed in with strong Christianism going on there i think!). We were making our way to the longest underground river in the world. By the [...]

On route to the Philippines, we had a slightly longer stopover than expected in Hong Kong, so checked our baggage into storage and hopped on the express train to the city. A nice dinner and drink later, we arrived back at the airport to find out that they wouldn’t let us on the plane to [...]
