How we got there - Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal then Bintan Resorts Ferry to BTT ferry terminal - and by land to Bintan Agro Beach
Leaving Singapore (from my Nexus One camera)
Jack and I went snorkelling at Mapur Island with Jumari - the water was calm but visibility was not great. Also the water temp was 31.1 C which is when bleaching of acropora happens. There was not much evidence of coral bleaching and on the fun side, there were clown fish in a white anemone - instead of the usual tan anemone I usually see

White soft coral
Pink Acropora
This is my first encounter with white anemone. But it was everywhere. The purple basement membrane was quite colorful - and the clownfish Amphiprion ocellaris appeared happy

Clusters of white anemone, acropa and a few clownfish
This year - the fish population appears to be growing. Where in years past, there were few fish - now there are many and some maybe 30cm in length (large) by my experience.
