Diving!

I went on 3 dives today, at the best sites in the gulf of Thailand, and it was absolutely amazing! I love having my open water license! The water was a beautiful clear blue, 20-25 meter visibility, and no current at the first 2 sites- glorious! The coolest thing was on dive 2 when we saw heaps of grey reef sharks, so amazing! They sometimes swim fairly close to you, but it's suprisingly not scary at all, they're just going along not bothering anybody. At one point we saw 5 all together, an awesome site. Another highlight was the the chimney at Sail rock, as you can imagine it's a coral-covered chimney like rock you can swim inside. Saw heaps of other cool fish as well, and colorful anemones, all so lovely. Quite the day, a highlight of the trip for sure. Don't have any underwater pics, but will post pics soon of the islands. I fly to Vietnam on Tuesday and supposedly the guesthouse has free internet, so I'll do my posting then.
