PADI Qualified Advanced Divers

Before the trip started travelling we booked onto a PADI open water diving course in Koh Tao. The three day course when successfully completed will allow us to dive to a depth of 18m. We both passed and enjoyed it so much we decided to rearrange our plans to stay in Koh Tao to complete the advanced diving course. The course was really insightful learning the equipment, new skills, navigation techniques, buoyancy control, air management and dives included a ship wreck, a choppy night dive, deep diving and lots of reef dives. We are now qualified to dive anywhere in the world up to 30m unsupervised. It has been a week full of diving, theory and tests and something we’ll definitely get back to in Indonesia.

I didn’t manage to get many photos, just a few towards the end of the course although we saw a huge range of marine life over the week. We just missed out swimming with a giant whale shark that was spotted swimming underneath our boat as unfortunately we weren’t quite geared up in time. Nevertheless a great week to conclude our time in South Thailand. Off to North Thailand next.Leia mais
