First Day on My Own

I did a refresher dive at Police Beach at Pulau Gaya. It went OK, though I had to reconquer my nerves while underwater. Better to do it here than where I’m headed. I saw a lionfish, which was cool, as well as gobies and their live-in shrimp helpers.

In the evening I joined an English couple and a New Zealand girl for Indian dinner, where we learned to eat with our hands.
