Project AWARE 2007 - Tioman

[gooseberry]

Just some record shots from a few dives in Tioman for Project AWARE 2007

This is what we were after to reduce their numbers - the crown of thorns starfish

Anybody know what type of shark is that in the last pic ?

poisonous? nah. not that I would ever eat one I know other people do.

I think he's referring to the Stingray's tail.

Remember how Steve Irwin (Crocodile Hunter) died? Though it is rare (as rare as a person getting his heart pierced by a bullray), there had been cases of divers who had unknowingly stepped onto a sting ray and received a nasty stung on the their legs.

Cools pics, by the way, esp the coral catshark. You are very lucky to have spotted one.

If something is poisonous, you have to ingest the toxin to suffer ill effects. If it is venomous, you have to bitten or stung.

So, if "I think, therefore I am", then what if I don't think? ... hahah
