Diving in Koh Tao

10th December - 22nd December

I spent those 12 days diving... and I got really lucky.
- all my buddies were nice
- all my instructors were good
- I swam with a Whale Shark on my 6th dive, and spotted sea turtle and big bullsharks.

The Whale Shark was the first really big marine animal that I saw live, and it was just amazing.. This 3 or 4 meters .I got so excited that I swam quickly to get closer to him, and lost my entire group. Hopefully it was soon full of divers, and I just stayed with another group from the same Diving Center...

On my last day, I was diving in Chumpon Pinnacle, and suddenly, at 25 meters deep, a shadow... yeah, that's it, at least, a bullshark !
30 seconds later, 2 sharks arrived, one got enough close (around 10 meters distance) so I could really watch him. It was amazing...

I did the PADI Open Water, Avanced, Deep Spec, Nitrox Spec, which is quite a lot for a beginning, but that's how PADI works : Put Another Dollar In.

Diving 40 meters deep was fun, as you feel really comfortable, soooo comfortable, and you actually don't really want to leave... Everything is so enjoyable, nice and relaxed... that's called Nitrogen Narcosis... and it rocks.

Well, now I'm in Hua Hin, gonna spend Christmas with my family.
