Pulau Aur, Pemanggil, Tioman Malaysia, May 2002 Page 1

Reef Squid.

This 10cm long squid seemed as curious about us as we were about her. On the night dive off Pulau Rengis, a small island off Tioman the squid stayed with us for a few minutes before flying off in a jet of red ink.

This liveaboard trip visited islands off the east coast of peninsular Malaysia, namely Dayang, Aur, Pemanggil, Gut and Tioman.
