Our second real day of the trip, we went scuba diving with Super Divers at Phi Phi Island. We did 3 dives and it was a wonderful experience. On the drive up, we went through Patong, Karon, and Chalong. I got to see the Big Buddha from far and it still looked huge! When we got to the pier, we had to take an amusing pink bus down to the boat because the pier was so long. The boat had food and drove out about 2 hours from shore. Our instructor named Allen was awesome and walked us through the details of scuba diving, where we were going, and marine life. It was really impressive how much he knew and loved scuba. He really made the experience for us. Osho had never scuba diver before, but started loving it by dive 2. I can't spell the names of the places we dived, but we saw plenty of coral, anemone, catfish, clownfish, purple-green- rainbow fish, eels, starfish, split fish, and more. Allen took plenty of underwater photos, which he will send us later by email.
We loved being on the boat!
By the end of the day, we were exhausted. We were out and back to the hotel roughly from 7:15-5:30. It was a long day. I made sure to book sea canoeing at Phang Na (James Bond Island) for the next day since we loved being on the water so much and didn't want to do the typical touristy things. We also walked around the area a bit new, got a very cheap dinner, and I bought some super cheap, designer eye shadow. I found out that a lot of factories are in Bangkok, so we should wait until we are there to buy more stuff for a better price. Regardless, I wanted to buy everything because prices are so good. We also walked on the beach at night. Overall, it was a great day :)
