Today's two dives were at 18m and 16m deep. The skill I hate the most to practice is taking my mask off completely, putting it back on and blowing the water out. Scares the shit out of me. Apart from that, we saw wonderful stuff including an white-eyed murray eel, a Nemo couple, a pregnant porcupine fish, a stingray and the greatest of them all: sea cucumbers! I literally point at them and think "FOOD"!
Now that we've completed the Open Water Diving Course, we're wondering if we should go further and obtain the Advanced one. It's another chunk of money (way over Math's and my budget) but the underwater beauty is just overwhelming. It also seems we are a lucky group and see creatures which are rare or hard to see (for example we saw a sea snake). If we proceed to the next level tomorrow, we'll have the chance to swim right next to a whale shark (biggest fish in the sea) and that's a huge incitative. Especially since people haven't seen one in Koh Tao's waters for the last couple of months.
omg go for it!!!! forget the money issue hahaha je t'emprunterai de l,argent moi, si tu me racontes les émotions que vous aurez en voyant un SHARK FISH !! quelle chance inouie!
