**Scuba on a Stick in Kota Kinabalu 🐠🤿**

In Kota Kinabalu, where the seas are blue,
I thought, “Scuba diving? That’s so passé, too!” 😏
So, I grabbed my pogo stick, quite a scene,
And bounced to the reef like a diving machine! 🤸‍♂️🌊

The locals stared, their jaws unhinged,
As I strapped on my tank and flippered fins. 🩴🐟
"Who needs a boat? I’m built to bounce!"
With a *boing* and a *splash*, I made it count! 💦💥

Down I went, like a kangaroo,
Bouncing past fish in technicolour hues. 🌈🐡
A grouper gasped, "Is this for real?!"
While a moray eel laughed, "That’s *some* appeal!" 😂🦑

I pogoed past corals, avoiding the lot,
But got wedged in a sponge—it was less than hot. 🧽🤦‍♂️
A turtle rolled by, slow as a slug,
And kindly freed me with a seaweed tug. 🐢❤️

Then a shark swam up, his fins on show,
"Fancy a race?" I said, "Let’s go!" 🦈🏁
We zipped through the reef—pogo versus speed—
And I bounced right past him, taking the lead! 🎉🏆

Now I’m a hero, a bouncing star,
Scuba stick champ with fans near and far! 🌟👑
So, if diving’s dull, don’t hesitate,
is the latest craze! 🐙💃

14th to 18th October 2024

**Orangutan Adventures**

Oh, Kota Kinabalu, what a sight,
To snorkel with an orangutan in the light.
He swam like a pro, a furry delight,
And made me giggle with all his might.

He grabbed a starfish, a colorful gem,
And held it up, as if to show them.
He played with the fish, so full of glee,
A friend to the ocean, wild and free.

So if you're ever in Kota Kinabalu,
Snorkel with an orangutan, it's true.
A memory you'll cherish, forever and a day,
An adventure you'll never want to stray.

**Scuba Kettle Adventures**

I packed my kettle, bright and new,
For diving in Kota Kinabalu.
Thought it'd be a quirky sight,
To boil some tea beneath the light.

But when I dove, the fish did stare,
And wondered what was in my lair.
A kettle? Surely, that's a joke,
A fishy tale to be bespoke.

I tried to boil, but bubbles rose,
And seaweed wrapped around my toes.
The current pulled, I lost my grip,
And tumbled down a coral slip.

The kettle clanged, a mournful sound,
As I descended, lost and drowned.
A fishy funeral, sad and deep,
For me and my poor boiling heap.

🐳🫖🤣

**Why You Shouldn't Scuba in a Dress**
*(A Cautionary Poem)*

I thought I'd be fancy, I thought I'd impress,
So I jumped in the sea, in a long flowing dress.
In Kota Kinabalu, the water’s so clear,
But my wardrobe choice? Oh dear, oh dear! 🤦‍♀️

The fish stared in awe, the coral did too,
As my dress flowed around like a big, tangled goo.
It wrapped around my flippers, it caught on a rock,
I flailed like an octopus caught in a sock! 🐙🧦

My buddy swam past, with a look of surprise,
As I spun like a mermaid with chaos in her eyes.
The current was pulling my skirt like a sail,
My dive turned dramatic, a comedy tale. 🌊😵

The turtles were laughing, the clownfish as well,
I was the underwater fashion show from hell!
So here's some advice if you're planning to dive:
Leave your gowns on the beach if you want to survive!





So next time you're diving, in case you're unsure,
Just wear a wetsuit—it's safe and secure.
'Cause a long flowing dress, though it might look divine,
Will turn your scuba into a tangled-up sign! 😆

**Why Scuba Diving Is Better Than Peanut Butter Sandwiches**

When it comes to life's greatest pleasures, people often argue over the classics: the thrill of scuba diving or the comfort of a peanut butter sandwich. But let's dive into why slipping into a wetsuit trumps slapping together bread and peanut butter any day. 🌊🥪

First off, scuba diving opens up a whole new world—literally. Beneath the waves, you're greeted by colorful coral, curious fish, and the occasional sea turtle who's probably judging your fin technique. Meanwhile, a peanut butter sandwich greets you with... crumbs. Exciting, right? 😏

While munching on a PB sandwich, you're stuck on land, possibly watching reruns on the couch. But with scuba diving, you're weightless, floating in a serene underwater paradise. Plus, you don't have to worry about jelly dripping onto your shirt—because let’s face it, jelly is just a sticky situation waiting to happen. 😅

And let's talk about calories. Scuba diving burns them while giving you a killer story to share later. Eating a peanut butter sandwich? Well, let's just say that the only thing you're burning is the desire to make another one. 🔥

In conclusion, while peanut butter sandwiches are nice, they simply can't compete with the adrenaline-pumping, fish-spotting, seaweed-dodging excitement of scuba diving. So next time you're faced with the choice, grab your snorkel, not your sandwich. 🌍🐠

11th to 19th July 2024

Scuba diving in Kota Kinabalu is leagues better than having your car serviced because:

1. **Adventure Awaits**: Instead of sitting in a drab waiting room with stale coffee, you could be swimming with turtles and exploring coral reefs. 🐢🌊

2. **Breathtaking Views**: Forget staring at your mechanic’s greasy overalls. How about vibrant marine life and stunning underwater vistas? 🐠🌺

3. **Stress Relief**: While a service bill can make your heart race, scuba diving lowers stress levels and makes you feel zen. 🧘‍♂️✨

4. **Social Media Gold**: Diving pics get way more likes than those awkward "waiting at the garage" selfies. 📸💖

5. **Epic Stories**: "I saw a shark!" sounds infinitely cooler than "I need a new timing belt." 🦈🚗

6. **No Up-sells**: No one underwater tries to convince you that you need new brake pads. 🛠️✌️

7. **Vitamin Sea**: You get sun, sea, and fresh air diving. At the garage, you get exhaust fumes and bad lighting. 🌞🏝️

So, trade that oil change for a sea change! 🤿💦

Why is scuba diving better than flower arranging? 🌊🤿 Let me dive into this! 💐

First off, when you're scuba diving, you're exploring the mysteries of the deep blue sea, swimming alongside sharks 🦈, turtles 🐢, and Nemo's entire extended family 🐠. Flower arranging? You're wrestling with a bunch of daisies and hoping they don’t droop before the party starts.

Scuba diving makes you feel like a secret agent on a mission. 🕵️‍♂️ Just imagine James Bond, but in a wetsuit. Plus, you get to wear cool gear and make that “Shhh, I’m underwater” hand signal 🤫. Flower arranging? The most excitement you get is if you accidentally sniff a bee 🐝 into your nose.

Ever tried talking underwater? It's like you’re a dolphin 🐬! Try that with flower arranging, and people will just think you’re weirdly passionate about petals. Scuba diving? You can sign “I saw a giant octopus!” 🐙. Flower arranging? “I saw a giant sunflower.” 🌻 Meh.

Underwater selfies are epic 📸. Coral reefs as your backdrop, fish photobombing your shots. Your friends will be jealous for days. Flower arranging? Your selfie game is a bunch of roses. Nice, but not exactly .

And let’s face it – mermaids. 🧜‍♀️ Enough said. Where’s the magic in flower arranging? A fairy, maybe? Doubtful.

In short, scuba diving is like being a majestic sea creature, while flower arranging is like being... well, a florist. 🌊🤿

Scuba diving is like going on a blind date with Mother Nature, and trust me, she’s a stunner! 🌊🐠 This sport plunges you into a magical world where gravity takes a vacation and fish are your new besties. Imagine swimming through crystal-clear waters, discovering hidden underwater cities, and making eye contact with a turtle who’s clearly judging your swim technique. 😂🐢

Forget Wi-Fi; down here, the only network you need is the vibrant coral reefs, buzzing with marine life. 🐙🌺 It's like finding Nemo every single dive! And let's not forget the thrill – it’s like starring in your own underwater action movie, complete with dramatic encounters with curious sharks and flamboyant nudibranchs. 🦈🎬

Scuba diving also comes with a built-in chill factor. The slow, steady breathing is basically underwater yoga, perfect for stress relief – who knew fish therapy was a thing? 🧘‍♂️🐟 Plus, where else can you wear a wetsuit and actually look cool?

In summary, scuba diving is the ultimate adventure, relaxation, and fashion statement rolled into one. So grab your gear, and dive into the best kept secret of the ocean. 🌊🤿

6th to 20th June 2024

Beneath the waves of Kota Kinabalu,
I snorkelled with glee, like a fish at a gala.
With Borneo Dream, I set sail so grand,
Into the deep, the magical wonderland. 🐠

Our guide, named Bob, a man full of cheer,
Said, "Watch out for sharks, or they'll bite your rear!" 😱
I laughed nervously, mask on my face,
And flopped in the water with all of my grace. 🌊

The sea was as blue as a smurf’s denim jeans,
Filled with more fish than in my wildest dreams. 🐟🐟
A turtle swam by with a wink and a wave,
I snapped a quick selfie, feeling so brave. 📸

But oh, what’s this? A stingray gliding near,
I flapped in a panic, overcome with fear. 😲
Bob shouted, “Don’t worry, they’re gentle and sweet,”
But I flailed like a noodle, retreating in defeat. 🍝

A clownfish popped out from an anemone’s embrace,
Staring at me with a comical face. 🤡
I giggled and waved, then swallowed some sea,
Choking and spluttering most awkwardly. 💦

Corals like rainbows, vibrant and bright,
Gave the underwater world a dazzling light. 🌈
But then a surprise, as I paddled around,
A school of fish formed, and I nearly drowned! 😵

They swarmed like a mob, in a frenzy of scales,
My snorkel got clogged, and I flapped my tails. 🐳
Bob swam to my aid, a hero indeed,
Cleared my snorkel and let me proceed. 🛟

We drifted along, like seaweed in a breeze,
Spotting weird creatures that made me say, "Jeez!" 🦑
A jellyfish danced with elegance and grace,
I swam away fast, not risking a face. 😂

I saw Nemo’s cousins, in a coral alcove,
And Dory's relations, in their own little grove. 🐟
The sea cucumbers, oh what a sight,
Wriggling and jiggling, with no end in sight. 🥒

A parrotfish parroted, quite the colourful bloke,
While an octopus played, like a masterful joke. 🐙
Bob pointed out crabs, scuttling with speed,
I tried to catch one, but they paid me no heed. 🦀

Finally, I surfaced, my adventure complete,
A snorkelling story that couldn’t be beat. 🏝️
With Borneo Dream, a day full of cheer,
In Kota Kinabalu, let’s all shout “Here, here!” 🎉

So if you’re ever in need of a laugh and some fun,
Just grab your snorkel and head for the sun. 🌞
Join Borneo Dream, where the waters are cool,
And snorkel away like a joyous old fool. 🤿
