Today I went on a Survey with Maisy in the morning, we kayaked over to PIR. There we started our survey we saw 5 turtles while we were there, including one that Maisy discovered a very small juvenile which she named baby Kev. He is very quick, but we both managed to get a photo of him.
After survey I went on a snorkel tour with the two couples. We were going somewhere different today, to some nearby islands called Rawa. They are off the north west coasts of the Perhentian and have a lot of undamaged coral and a chance to see different marine life.

We went to three sites around the islands and saw cuttlefish, pufferfish and was lucky enough to see two blue spotted stingray.
Friday was data analysis in the morning, we identified all other individuals from the survey the day before. They were all frequent visitors to PIR, a male, 2 females and a juvenile. In the afternoon I went on a snorkel survey with our Turkish volunteer Selen. We saw 4 turtles, including one of my favourite Long Dragon, named by the Long family Long meaning Dragon in chinese, I think. For dinner we had Malay dinner there was almost as many staff to volunteers who went, with me, Dan and Ramona that went. Malay dinner like always was so good, we had so much food and we all went away feeling very full.
