Whale Shark on the PADI Open Water course

A happy diver in Koh Tao

Today we certified another Padi Open Water Diver. Daina from Canada choose to do the 4 day scuba diving course with us and enjoyed every minute of it.

We started as usual with the video's, watching 3 at a time, completing the knowledge review's and then a simple quiz. The next day we headed to pool for our confined water session. Daina completed the morning exercises which included regulator and  mask clearing, surface skills and of course the always fun buoyancy control with ease.

The following day we finished the rest of the videos in the morning and then we headed out to our newly reconditioned dive boat for our first two twelve meter dives. With 10-15 meter visibility and fish aplenty, we had a fantastic couple of dives. The next morning we got up bright and early for two 18 meter dives at the Chumphon Pinnacle and we weren't disappointed.

20 minute's into the first dive we saw a 5 meter whale shark. All in all we had a brillant time and Daina left with a smile on her face.
