Diving in Koh Tao



The Island of Koh Tao, is well know for their scuba diving activity. Since Esmond and I haven't tried diving here before, so why not we give it a try. We arrange the dive from the Resort itself, it saves us the hassle to walk and carry my equipment all around.

From the hotel, they provided us the shuttle to the pier where we waited for other divers to join us on the trip. So here we are in this room filling out our paperwork before we go to the underwater world.


The boat has finally arrive, and its time to board!
 


And away we sail, from here it looks as if we are sailing to a journey of no return ..
 


Gears are properly assemble and indeed it's time for our 1st dive ..
 

It took almost an hour plus.. and Esmond wasn't feeling quite ok.  On almost every dive trip i go.. someone is bound to have seasick. In this case, it was Esmond.. hahahah.. poor fellow ..



According to our Divemaster, this are the proposed dive sites ..
 




Some of the cool underwater shots taken by my GoPro ..
 


Can you see me?
 





Unfortunately, the visibility was quite bad. I was also shock that there weren't many corals and marine life. There were this stretch of dead corals all over the seabed. Oh my! i hope they do something about it. I was expecting better than this ..






We only went for two dives for this trip, we wanted to do 3 dives in the day and also one night dive at first. Luckily they told us that the night dive wasn't available due to bad weather conditions and also only two dives were possible on that day because there wasn't any other slots available. If not it will be a waste of money, seriously there's nothing much to see..


So it's time to pack the bags and head back to the resort and plunge in the pool!
