Malene left early this morning to go for more diving. This time to get the PADI Open Water Advanced certificate. Spending all day off the the island of Koh Haa today also included seeing a sea horse and trumpet fish. The visibility was much better today so yesterday must have been bad luck. Two really fantastic dives.
The dives consisted of "Peak Performance Buoyancy" and "Underwater Navigation". Normally you would read about the subjects and answering some questions before going out on the boat, but Malene didn't have the book because the dive shop is placed in another part of the island, so before the first dive and between the dives all the time was spent on reading, answering questions and discussing it with the instructor. Both dives and exercises were completed successfully. Buoyancy is one of the most important things to train when diving and navigation skills are always good to know so definitely to useful dives.
Katrine and Jeppe and Karl left for Koh Yao Yai early in the morning - we'll be at Koh Lanta for another couple of days. While Malene did her diving Mikkel spent most of the day taking it easy, staying in the shade a reading a good book.
With Malene back in the afternoon we had a swim in the ocean, drinks for sunset and nice dinner.
