Koh Tao

8 a.m. - I woke up and it rained again. I waited until the rain was over and got a fresh fruit bowl for breakfast.

9 a.m. - I arrived at the diving school and met my lovely instructor Ainsley. Furthermore I met the other participants Felix, Lena, a couple from germany, and Bart my dive buddy. We started first in the pool with a swim and drift test. Furthermore we practiced many different skills you need to master for save scuba diving. For example who to check your gear right, different breathing patterns, how to clear your goggles when theres water in it, some emergency plans etc.
After 3h practicing in the pool I was really tired but that is completely normal.

1 p.m. - We got lunch in the restaurant vis-a-vis and discussed the theory I learned the day before.

2:30 p.m. - We finished day one and I was excited for day two but at first I took a nap.

4 p.m. - The nap was really nice until new people came into our room. Many new travelers arrived today on the island because everyone came from Koh Phangan from the Full Moon Party. Koh Tao wasn’t calm anymore like the day before it got really crowded.

4:30 p.m. - I gave up my laundry and I had another three sections of homework for my diving license so I went into a café and learned. In this sections you learned much about the environment and the nature.

7 p.m. - For dinner I went into town and ate my first burger since a long time. Here on the island are many restaurants with western food. After eating I went for a walk on the main beach and found a quite place with a hammock.

10 p.m. - Later I got hungry again so I ate a late night snack and watched the world cup game Morocco vs. Portugal. Suddenly I met Anne from Pain again how was at the Full Moon Party and then moved to Koh Tao as well.

P.S.: I learned hello in thai its called “sawasdee khrap (male) & kha (female)”Läs mer
