Semporna Pitfall Guide: Little Tricks in the Diving Paradise vs. Stunning Sea Views

Semporna is truly breathtaking! 🌊 But there are quite a few pitfalls... Just got back from Semporna, here’s a super strong pitfall avoidance guide for you 👇 🏝️【Essential Gear List】 ✨Jellyfish suit is a must! Long sleeves and pants for sun protection and jellyfish stings, UV rays are super strong underwater~ ✨Choose ocean-friendly sunscreen! Let’s protect the coral reefs together, ocean lovers 💙 ✨Bring your own snorkeling gear for better hygiene! The ones provided at the scenic spots are old and loose, recommend buying your own on Taobao ✨Get a Celcom SIM card! Signal is as stable as on land when out at sea~ Don’t forget a plug adapter for the three-prong plug ⚡️ 💣【Pitfall Avoidance Guide】 🚫 Latest on trailing sand beaches! Timbatimba is temporarily closed 😭 For similar views, go to Mataking instead~ 🚫 Must-know when buying seafood! Walk deeper into the market for cheaper prices, bargain hard! 20 MYR per serving for processing is very reasonable ✅ 🌈【Recommended Activities】 Taking a glass-bottom boat out to sea is super nice! Just as beautiful as in the photos~ Clear water and coral gardens 👗 Families with kids should try it, kids love it! You can even see Nemo 🐠 ⚠️Tips: - Big temperature difference between morning and evening, bring a light jacket - Remember to bring a waterproof phone case 📱 - Exchange local currency in advance We are a travel-loving family of three 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Next time we’ll share more family travel guides [Cute][Cute][Cute]
