If this whole SCUBA diving bit catches on like rock climbing did, I'm in for an expensive, hobby-filled life ahead.....
After a brief afternoon in the classroom yesterday and some more preparation from the textbook this morning, we took to the pool for some basic skills this afternoon. I never thought that I could be quite so comfortable underwater, but after spending all afternoon in the water, 3 hours of which were spent in the 12 ft water without coming back to the surface, I think I've become more adapted than I could have ever imagined.
Tomorrow, we spend one last morning in the classroom before taking to the waters of the Gulf of Thailand tomorrow afternoon. We'll do two dives down around 12 meters (in/around 36 feet) and that's when the fun should begin. Sunday (Day 4) will be capped off with the deepest dive (18 meters) prior to receive my open-water certification. And then, I'm officially a diver!
The laid-back atmosphere of Kho Tao has been great, and I can already tell it will be one of those places that will be difficult to part with when the time comes.....
Until then, I'm busy being a student again. I even have homework tonight, so I better wrap this up and get back to my textbook!
