Oh well, Few weeks Back Wei Hoe and I went to Tawau, Semporna to take our very first PADI Open Water Diving Course at Scuba Junkies. It was a cool yet stressful course but at the end of the day It was a great pleasure to us.

Besides that, Scuba Junkies is a nice place to stay and hang out. It is a VERY Budgeted backpacker home operated mainly for Divers and Travelers. During the day, they provide services such as Diving, Snorkeling and etc and they have fun and happening bars during the night. Besides that, we get to know travelers around the world and exchange our traveling experience plus informations. We will definitely go back to Scuba Junkies.

Moreover, On our very last day, we decided to charter a private boat for first time, Boat Ocean Fishing. Although It wasn't like what we expected (Fishing XXL fish) but It was a great first time boat fishing for us.
