2016 Sep Island-Hopping Dive Adventure — Mabul & Semporna, Sabah, Malaysia

September 2016 · 15 Dives, One Crew, Endless Memories)

📅 Date: September 2016
📍 Location: Semporna & Mabul Islands, Sabah, Malaysia
👥 With: Friends from the same internet company in Beijing

🌊 Three Dives a Day

The plan was ambitious but simple: three dives in one day. Morning, noon, and afternoon we geared up, checked regulators, and rolled backward into the blue. Each dive felt like pressing “pause” on the world above and “play” on a new chapter of adventure.

📮 The Underwater Post Office

Yes, you read that right—an underwater post office. Dropping postcards in scuba gear feels both absurd and magical. Somewhere out there, someone received a card that literally “took the plunge” with me.

🚢 Wreck Dive Wonders

Then came the shipwreck dive. Descending along the hull, I felt like an explorer uncovering a sunken secret. Schools of fish darted through broken windows, corals claimed the rails, and for a moment, I wondered: who sailed this ship, and how did it end up here?

👫 Beyond Work, Into the Ocean

We weren’t just random travelers—we were colleagues from the same internet company in Beijing. In daily life, we were ordinary office workers. But during holidays, we escaped the screens to embrace the ocean. Together we trained, earned our scuba licenses, and witnessed the mysteries of the underwater world.

📷 Recorded Every Bubble

From GoPro clips to shared laughter on the boat, we captured everything—above and below the surface. The records weren’t just videos; they were proof that sometimes, the best classroom is 20 meters underwater.

🎉 Conclusion

That day in Sabah wasn’t just about diving—it was about trust, teamwork, and joy. Three dives, one crew, and memories still bubbling up years later.
