February 12, 2010: Cabana with Doyle

This was a Chinese New Year and Valentine celebration - Brian and Doyle joined us at Cabana. Took the Ferry from Tanah Merah to BBT - then land transport to Cabana. Here is our path

The water was at most 1 m deep - so plenty of light and lots to see. Lots of old dead coral and lots of new growth. Since the temp is often near 30 - coral life comes and goes with the temp. But things look quite healthy.
