Went for a Dive

By yesterday I had mostly shaken off my fever so I decided to join Sheldon for a couple of dives at Phi Phi. It has been a long time since I last went for a dive. I do love getting in the water so I don't know why I haven't been for so long. Huwy joined us. Same as me, he has not dived for a few years.

It was a beautiful day. A long 3 hour boat ride out to Phi Phi and we did our two dives at the two little Koh Bida islands. The first dive was a getting back into the swing of it affair. It only took me a minute before I felt comfortable in the water. It was a nice dive down the wall, across a few corals and around the island. Plenty of fish and lots of colour.

The second dive is very similar but at the second island. Unfortunately Huwy quickly had to surface after getting pain in his forehead - probably a burst capilliary. Huwy always seems to suffer misfortune. Once Huwy was away we pushed on with the dive and I thought it was really nice. Lots of fish, nice rock formations, beams of sunlight cutting through the water and to cap it off we saw a lovely big turtle.

A relaxing lounge on the deck for the three hour ride back to Phuket to cap off a very nice day out. It will definitely not be so long before my next dive.
