Coming face to face with a great barracuda
Day 213! Another day of leading fun divers! Today we had an insane encounter with a great barracuda. I’ve never been so close to one before! It was a pretty surreal experience and definitely was a little terrifying but also super freaking cool! I had another group of fun divers…

Lydia’s last day on Koh Tao!
Day 212! Today was my friend Lydia’s last day on Koh Tao… for now. She’ll be coming back to do her instructor course eventually. But for now she is heading back to England! After a shaky fun dive yesterday, I was ready for a calmer day of diving. Thankfully today,…

The day I had my first difficult fun diver
Day 211! Well… my plan was to take some photos under water today, but one of my fun divers had another plan for me. Today is the story about my fun diver who made our dive quite difficult. (I’m of course going to keep names out of it for the…

Leading my first fun diver by myself
Day 210! Wow! Where’s the time going! It’s already almost August, which means in a few weeks I’ll be wrapping up my dive master and heading to Australia after that. But that’s still a ways away. Today I took my first fun diver out solo and wrapped up another assist…

Day 207! Not many pictures from today, but lots of stories! After a long day of a visa run and many days off from diving… it’s time to get back to our regular schedule program. Today I woke up nice and early. Not because a boat was dropping me off……

My second visa run to Myanmar
Day 206! Today’s the day! Time to step foot (literally) for the second time into Myanmar. I wish my stay could be for longer, but until their civil war is over, I’m not sure when that will be. For now, I’ll just have to settle for seeing its beauty from…

Another relaxing day on Koh Tao and starting my visa run to Myanmar
Day 205! I took today off as well, hopefully my knee will be pretty healed up in two more days so I can start diving again! I’ve really enjoyed my time off as it’s reminded me why I love this island so much. But I’m ready to get diving again!…

Living the island life on Koh Tao, Thailand
Day 204! Today was another very nice day off from diving. My tattoo is healing very nicely so I’m hoping I’ll be back in the water soon! But for now, I’m having days of enjoying the island. After a very nice day off, it was time for another! I woke…
