Tanjung Jepun and the submarine

There's a dive spot not far from the resort where you can find a small shipwreck, an artificial reef, load of reef fish, and ....................a 56 foot submarine!

Not many divers have had an underwater encounter with this species which is not fearful of divers and will come real close to inspect you. It is not a timid beast but will actively buzz around you while you try to dive.

If you look closely you will see that it has many, many eyes and many, many heads (look into the window-like protuberances and you will see Malaysian-looking faces staring back at you!)

We think it is looking for a mate, as it is showing all the signs of a loved-lorn creature, pale white in colour and making strange whirring noises as it searches fruitlessly for something to love.

so, if you happen to dive in Tanjung Jepun and have found the giant frogfish, remember to listen out for the sad wailing that has driven men mad with desire!
