Arrive on Ko Tao and get picked up in the back of a pick up truck to take us to our dive centre. Sign up for the PADI open water diver course and start the next day! Check into our accomodation, but its not nice, so switch to a different place the following morning.
Start the first day off with theory and do some basic quizs on all aspects of diving. In the afternoon we head out on the boat to do our first dive - the confined water dive. This is done in the sea up to about 1.5m deep. This gets us practiced with breathing and floating etc. Very good and loads of fish around!
Next day we are back in the classroom for our final theory session, on how to use dive charts, then its time for our final exam!!! We then are back in the boat for the afternoon to do two proper doves, first to 11m the second to 8m. Both fantastic dives, Beth a bit unsure about it at first, but makes it through.
Final day is an early start, on the boat by 8 to do our final two dives. First dive is to 18m the second to 12m. I managed to take a camera down with me, so will put pictures on facebook, so try and have a look at them if you can. Diving was fantasti8c, but over to quick. However we have the Great Barrier Reef to come, so being able to go and dive there will be amazing.
Off back to Ko Samui for a couple of days, before flying to Singapore for two days and then its OZ!!
