Scuba diving has been on my list of life goals for a looooong time. I was thrilled that it all worked out and I got to go! Poor, poor Tanner got food poisoning and was too sick to come. In our 7 years together this was the sickest he's ever been. It was tragic really, because I know he would have loved it.
The scuba diving company came and picked us up at 7:30. We got on a boat and went out to Kho Phi Phi for our dives. We didn't get certified, we just did DSD (discover scuba diving)--it was one day, 2 dives. The boat ride was about 2 1/2 hours. They had breakfast on the top deck. We ate while we enjoyed the scenery. The wind and shade made it the perfect temperature and it was a really delightful ride. When we got closer our instructors came and reviewed the gear, rules, expectations and showed us pictures of marine life we might get to see.

We did one dive, came up and had lunch, then did a second dive.
It was really incredible. There were so many colorful fish. The water was so clear. We saw a puffer fish, box fish, needle fish, clown fish in an anemone, schools of brightly colored fish, a couple sea turtles, beautiful coral and more!
Our tanks started at 200 and we had to come up when it was at 50. Brad got down to 50 both times faster than me. I was still just over 100 when he got to 45/50. he claims it's because his lungs are bugger and he naturally takes big breaths... sure... :)
After our dives, on the way back to Krabi.
