Officially certified divers 🐠 👌🏽

We spent the last 3 days getting our PADI Open Water certification with @Black Turtle Dive.

It’s official, we can now dive to 18m and rent scuba gear!! Woohoo 🙌🏽

Our confined water skills took place on day 1 which was a full day in a deep hotel pool. Learnt how to assemble our gear, breathe underwater and we had my most dreaded part of the course - the swimming and water treading tests.

Day 2 - dived in Mango bay and Twins. Both off the coast of Koh Tao. Visibility was beautiful and the water was perfect! Today was also Songkran (Thai new year) and everyone had water guns or buckets of water in the street. It’s a water festival so we were saturated to and from the dive store that day!

Day 3 - dived at the Japanese Gardens and Junkyard, also off the coast of Koh Tao. Super nice day! Saw pufferfish and used our confined skills in the open water.Read more
