Open Water Diving Koh Tao: 6 meter Whale Shark
Image: From left to right we have, Sally, Andrew, Sharon, Lindsay who have all just completed their Padi Open Water Course.
With a nice easy confined water session in the pool, we had our first open water dive at Japanese Gardens then on to White Rock Koh Tao dive site east of the island. Both were excellent dives but it was the next day on dive 3 where thing's really got exciting.
While on the buoy line doing our saftey stop, along came a 6 meter whale shark. The whale shark stayed with us for the next 30 minutes, with the visibility a good 20 meters we were able to watch the amazing animal from the surface.
We're all off to South West Pinnacle today to do our Deep Adventure Dives and hopefully spot another Whale Shark. Congratulations on qualifying as PADI Open Water divers guys and look forward to today's dives!
