Going to Pom Pom Island Resort tomorrow morning for a promotional shoot with the Scubazoo team. We'll be there till the end of the week.
To get there we'll be flying to Tawau from Kota Kinabalu . We'll then get picked up at the airport and transfered by coach in about one hour to the fishing town of Semporna. From there we will board our speedboat, which will bring us to Pom Pom Island in about 40 minutes.
This will be my 1st trip to Pom Pom and I'm really excited, especially because Pom Pom Island is one of the few islands in Asia where you can witness Green and Hawksbill Turtles emerging from the sea to lay their eggs on the beach. The eggs of these endangered animals are then hatched under care to avoid predators eating them. I hope I get to help release the newly hatched baby turtles back to the sea. The only other time I've experienced that was at Sanggalaki Island a few years back, which was an amazing experience.
