I am now a qualified scuba diver! We have spent the past four days in and out of the classroom and sea, learning about diving, buoyancy control, and what to do if you run out of air 18 metres under the sea (scary stuff). Did my first deep dive today, and saw some pretty cool stuff- sea snakes, clownfish, weird lobster thing- no turtles or sharks yet but there is still time. Jon, our instructor, is from Birmingham, and managed to make even the most exciting things sound bland and dull- but hey the dive time underwater was just amazing. The water is so clear thanks to the sun, and we swam through some cool underwater caves out at Green Rock. We met a couple of Aussies on our course who are awesome- we were afraid we might have been stuck with a couple of older people, but it's all turned out well.
So we rented a scooter yesterday and drove around the island, taking in all the bays and inlets. We were so tired last night that we had a mammoth fifteen hour sleep and woke up this morning feeling terrible! The weather has been, of course, beautiful, hot enough to fry you up in five minutes.
We are heading to Krabi tomorrow night on a night boat/bus, to do a bit of climbing and in my case more sunbathing. Last time I came here Krabi was my all time favourite place, so I hope that this time it will deliver..
