4 day scuba course starts today

October 12, 2016 in Thailand ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

We are staying in a little bungalow on the beach here on Mae Hat beach. Missing the luxury of the resort but the view (and the price) can't be beat. We are getting picked up this morning to start our scuba course (PADI open water certification). Sounds like it is just us and a French guy in the class! We asked about diving here versus koh Tao and it sounds like it is cheaper in koh Tao because the classes are larger due to the demand - but it is the same course and the same nature so should be good. The guys who run this one seem super nice and it has good reviews. One of them came by the hotel with our books yesterday so we could get the reading done. We haven't found good food in this area yet. Its all pretty much the same as all the restaurants are at resorts. Since it is low season (very quiet here) there doesn't seem to be any stand alone restaurants open. But im sure we will survive! 😜Read more

Time for a reset

Good news! The French guy didn't show up...well he did but he "wasn't feeling well". From the smell I detect a hangover. So Mikk and I get private diving lessons with this awesome German dude named Nicky. His hair is amazing. Picture and 80's hair band hair + sun bleached and salty. Oh and he had a large spider in his hair that Mikk noticed once we got in the water. The thing was massive (huntsman spider we think?) And then it ran across the water....that should not physically be possible. Arachcmaphobic Mikk will not be able to forget that ever.
