Surat Thani -> Koh Tao

7 a.m. - I arrived in Koh Tao after a night on the boat. Great experience but the beds were really small. My feet were over the bed and you could only lie straighten so I slept not really well and was tired. But it thought it would be worse. It rained heavily when I arrived so I took a little bit overpriced taxi to the hostel.

8:30 a.m. - I needed to wait for the reception and got fucked by moskitos. Afterwards I walked a little bit around and got me some breakfast where I also meet two girls who recommended me some places

9:30 a.m. - The choice in Koh Tao for scuba diving schools is overwhelming, and it's quite difficult to separate the places, with prices similar across the board. So I choose the “Big Blue Diving Center” because of there google reviews and I visited them personally. There I met Steve and I can not describe what it was but I felt comfortable and safe to make my first diving experience with them and get my „open water diving license“ there.

11:30 a.m. - After my small exploring I returned to my hostel and checked in. I napped a little bit and when I woke up I realized that I was in a six bed dorm but we were just two guys.

2 p.m. - I already got three sections of homework for my scuba dive course. It was really theoretical and overwhelming but also interesting. Honestly I didn’t understand everything completely and it’s also hard to remember when you heard it once. Afterwards I talked little bit with my german roommate for the next couple of days.

6:30 p.m. - My roommate showed me around and we went in a restaurant. After that we went for a little walk at the beach and discovered a bar with a fire show.

8 p.m. - He went back to the hostel and I stayed at the bar. I got me some drinks and watched the nice show. So far Koh Tao was really calm and there was not much going on.

P.S.: The moskito’s here in the south are really badLäs mer
