Batu Mandi

Thanks to Abg Rashid,we get to check out Batu Mandi-one of Similajau's beautiful product. Batu Mandi is actually a rock of 3 to 12m depth located about 0.5km from the shore. It acts as barrier protecting from wave, swell and seawater current action. Best part is that it is home to coral reefs and fishes!


The rock is visible when low tide

Was hoping to capture the few birds(one was the young of a black hornbill), i saw the day before but...they didn't appear again..oh well,at least i get to watch dolphins!:D



The sea view



Managed to capture the fin only. At least 3 of the Irrawaddy dolphins spotted at about 7am.
