The best plan is to have no plan

'The best plan is to have no plan', a backpacker once told me. And he was right: just go with the flow and see what happens is the best way to travel. Two months ago we were in the south of Thailand to do some island hopping, when we ended up diving in Koh Tao. After a four day course we decided to an advanced course as well - and when that one ended we were really sad not to be diving for a long time. So we started thinking about doing our dive master, which means you can assist an instructor when he's doing a course, or you can take certified people out for diving.
We continued our trip to the north of Thailand, then Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Diving was still on our minds and after some talks and calculations we made a decision.
And here we are: on a tropical island, surrounded by sun, sea, beach and divers, spending half our budget on diving. And we're loving it!
