ADDICTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think we found ourselves a new hobby. Diving. I never really thought about it before coming to Thailand and I would have never done it just by myself – but Loes got me into it. We arrived in the south of Thailand on these little islands and they’re just packed with diving schools. Loes started talking about it, saying she really wanted to do a course. I wasn’t so sure but I went with her to get some information and then thought to myself, let’s give it a try. Apparently this is the cheapest place in the world to get your certification, so why not? It was a four day course. We spent the first day in a classroom with 4 other students and I felt like going back to school – but it was nice. On the second day we practiced some skills in shallow water and we did our first dive on the third day. Going down that deep was a little scary at the beginning but I think we were addicted as soon as we were down to 12 meters. It’s a completely different world – sounds are strange, colours are weird, there’s fish and coral all around you, and it’s just amazing. We made another dive in Mango Bay and also passed our exams that third day. Today was supposed to be the last day. We got up early in the morning and went to White rocks for the first dive. More fish – and the water was so clear! Then to Twin peaks for the last dive in the Open water course – we found Nemo! After about 40 minutes we got out of the water. Loes and me looked at each other and without words we told each other: we don’t want this to be over yet!
The boat went back to the diving resort. A guy from our course told us he’s doing the advanced course. Again we looked at each other. Maybe we should..? Yes. We found an ATM and paid for the course – starting tomorrow. Five more dives before we leave this island!
