My good friend Erin and I decided way back in September that we wanted to get our Open Water scuba diving certification. The long process of which dive school to choose begun.
We ended up heading to Koh Tao which is apparently THE place to go scuba diving in Thailand (aside from the Similan islands) and stayed at Asia Divers where our instructor was this very colorful hippy from a small town outside of London.
I started off in the pool ok but then when we started doing some skills involving taking off our masks I started to freak out a little.
I didn't think that I was going to make it through the rest of the course and was pretty down on myself.
Long story short, I made it through the course and am very happy that I did.
I knew that I would be a little scared but I got through it.
Erin and I went on 2 more dives when we got to the Philippines. One was absolutely beautiful and was the best dive I had been on (out of the whopping 6 that I've done haha) and the other was a night dive which wasn't as cool as I thought it was going to be and I got a little bit of vertigo which wasn't cool at all.
Anyway, I can now scuba dive, Koh Tao is awesome and I will check out some diving this summer here in Korea on Jeju-do island.
