Koh Tao

8:30 - I woke up and got ready for the second day of the „open water course“. Furthermore there was finally sunshine.

9:30 a.m. - In the afternoon we had theory for the sections 4,5 and 6 with I already learned the day before by myself. After that we had our final theory exam witch everyone passed.

11 a.m. - We had our lunch break.

12:30 p.m. - After lunch it was time for our first dives in the sea. So we packed all our stuff together and drove with a small boat out to the big boat. There we got an introduction for the boat and the rules. Moreover we prepared everything for our first dive. I was pretty exited and nervous. Bard a 2m guy from the Netherlands was my dive buddy. The first dive spot is called „Twins“ and we had a perfect view from the boat to the island „Koh Nang Yuan“. We learned how to jump in the water right and everything was perfect but somehow when we descend at a depth of 5m my right ear felt not right. I tried again and again but it didn’t felt right for me so Ainsley descends together with me back to the surface and I described her my problem. She explained it to me logical and I tried it again. Somehow on the second attempt I had no problems. When I finally got to the group we did all skills we learned the day before in the pool now in the sea at a depth of 12m.

3:30 p.m. - After a break and discussing the first dive we went to the second dive site called „White Rock“. The second dive was way better than the first one. I had no problems at all and could focus a little bit more on the beautiful underwater world. The only problem I had was that I had absolutely no clue fish species I saw but that didn’t mater because it was breath taking.

5:30 p.m. - We got back to land, washed our equipment and finished our first dive day. I did the laundry and chilled a bit at the beach.

7:30 p.m. - I had dinner in a pretty cheap restaurant with beach view. I chilled there a bit and processed the day. After that I went back to the hostel took a shower and got to bed early.Leggi altro
