Pulau Paya 1 Day Trip

Went to Pulau Paya 1 Day Snorkelling Trip the day before Deepavali. Some call it Payar some call it Paya..well, who cares lah I just know south of the heavily touristed island of Langkawi - Pulau Paya Marine Park, rated as having the best diving off Peninsular Malaysia's West Coast is the one nearest to where I live. And since I've been craving for island hopping/snorkelling for years but never make it so I decided to just go for it.

I guess it was one of my lucky day. it's raining season lately but thank god the day before and the day I went was sunny day *sobz sobz* Thanks thanks I really appreciate that. I will behave and be 'kuai kuai' as a pay back =p But even the day was fine with no strong wave...I still couldn't bear the long hours on the boat. I felt like it took forever to reach :S I don't like taking boat as I normally feel dizzy easily.

So here, a pic of the clear sea water of Paya. I wouldn't call it cyrstal clear but compared to Penang it's clear enough WAHAHA. But anyway its green and I actually prefer something blue like what Redang has. I swear I am gonna make it to Redang next year NO MATTER WHAT & HOW.
Here here we can see lots of fishes swimming around :D
BUT we witnessed something rare that day...something I wish not to happen but well, it's something we don't get to see everyday and a special experience though. We went snorkelling for about like 2 hours and right after we came out from the sea for lunch, we saw a light wave coming far apart and when the wave came near...it brought along dirty rubbish water which concurred the clear water in like what...just in 5 minutes time :S We managed to took a pic of it. You can see clearly as if there's a line between the clear water and the dirty one. In just 5 mintues time, Paya turned to Penang :( NOOOOOOOOOOOHaiz, thought wana continue snorkelling after lunch but failed. Oh well, at least we had the 2 hours earlier..better than nothing huhhh. According to a Pro diver, he suspected the water came from a nearby lake which is Pedu Lake as it didn't taste like salt water and another prove was all the fishes gone missing. He bet they went hiding or looking for salt sea water to keep them alive HAHA. Since snorkelling no longer possible due to the bad visibility :( Just walked around and posed for some pics la =p *CHEEEESSSSSEEEEEE*


3:30pm time to say goodbye. Actually it's not considered a 1 day trip also lah. we departed from Penang at 8:30am, the journey took 2 hours. The time we really had at Paya was only like 5 hours then another 2 hours to travel back home. Ahhhhh the time on boat was really killing me. Will I go back there???? well, I'll see =p
