Today was our final two open water dives and I am now a certified scuds diver!!!! We dove Twins and White Rock off the boat this morning to a depth of 18 meters (about 54 feet in USA speak - the Imperial verse Metric measurement schemes have been battling fiercelythis week and as the only American in the class, we are sorely losing). Yesterday we dove two beach dives to Sairee reef and both featured stong rays, puffer fish, nemos, etc and a merman named Cam.... The toughest part was our first day in the pull although I flat out refused to practice taking off my mask and clearing at 18M today - I ain't doing that...
Post graduation our class (Nick, Cam, Brooke and myself) were greeted with the famous snorkel dive, where a full beer is poured into ones snorkel and the inability to breath with a mask on requires rapid engulfing of the Chang beer. Pictures to follow eventually...
We have had a great time here at Phoenix Diving School with Fraser, Cullam and Clause but are heading to Bangkok tomorrow afternoon via ferry and boat and them to Chang Mai that evening via train.
Currently I am sitting on the beach under a palm tree watching the sunset over the Gulf of Thailand having finally figured out how to update to blog via my iPod Touch - congrats me!!!!!
The whole gang (our team and the scuba school are going fir a night on the town to celebrate our graduation and give Koh Tao a proper bon voyage.....
