Its been a long time since we posted any news. Recently me and Calvin just came back from Singapore visiting ADEX, YES visiting. it has been rumored that the show is shrinking and it is true that the show is not as it is before.

We also met up with some good friends Kelvin and Sarah, Mr and Mrs Sim for some great Singapore food !

the frog porridge ... any type of porridge I am IN !

Back to the show, a long time associate from the industry, a pioneer in the industry, did says that he is sadden to see the show had grown to decreasing in popularity as compare to when its first started. We did not take much pictures of the expo but would like to share with you the other show held in parallel to it, Boat Show

Then again this is not the end as there is another good show coming up in May, Thailand Dive and Travel Expo in Bangkok. Watch out for news, Myth Asia will be an exhibitor !

MATAKING REEF DAY AND REEF CHECK MALAYSIA PROJECT (5-9 JUNE 2009)

The Reef Dive Resort at Pulau Mataking in Sabah, Malaysia is pleased to announce the 2nd Reef Check Malaysia event is to be held on the 5th to 9th June 2009. This event will coincide with the well established annual Mataking Reef Day. The purpose of the Reef Check is to monitor our reefs and continue the data base of the marine life in predetermined areas of our famous house reef. The gathered information will be submitted to Reef Check Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur for world wide publication and future reference data. We invite divers who have an interest in marine life to join us. Divers do not need to be marine biologists! Anyone can join! It will be a fun weekend of diving with a purpose. The event will be very educational. At the same time we will be conducting courses in Fish Identification and Eco Diver training. These courses are an optional extra. Certain areas of our famous house reef will be marked with tape as a baseline. Divers in buddy pairs with good buoyancy equipped with slates and measuring tapes will be given separate tasks such as identifying and counting fish species, measuring corals, identifying little critters, etc. Photos will be taken for future reference. If you care about our environment and are keen to help preserve our natural heritage. For more information : Reef Day
