I loved the programme we learnt so much about all the fish and the corals which was so interesting. The dives sites were the best I've ever been to with huge variety of species, lots of sharks too.
We learnt a fair bit about the turtles too; the staff there were very knowledgeable and clearly had a strong passion for the turtles. Turtle watch was good fun watching them come up the beach and then record all the data of the length of their tracks, whether they laid eggs and how long they were on the beach for. It could get quite tiring though if you had a dive the next morning!
I know so much more about how to help conserve turtles even helping in this country (e.g. don't use helium balloons as 99% end up in the sea and turtles try and eat them and suffocate) and all about different coral, fish, sharks!

Malaysia is fantastic!! So much to tell! I have just been on my 1st diving trip now and managed to dive with a Hawksbill turtle and got about 1 foot away while she was munching on some cuttlefish eggs! Landed rather tired at KL in the morning of the 5th and was greeted by Mary the Real Gap agent so all went smoothly there. I was given a tour round the city and went right up to the Petronas towers and had my first Malaysian food - awesome!
