Perhentian Islands, part 1

The Perhentian Islands are a pair of small islands off Malaysia's northeast coast. They're beautiful and attract divers, snorkelers, and vacationers from all over the world.

	We went on several snorkeling excursions in the waters around the islands. One of my companions brought along his underwater camera, and you can see some of his work on his photo blog.
