Day 23-25, Koh Phi Phi















Scuba certification time!
Over three days we learned the essentials of diving and went on several open water dives. To become certified we had to read, study, and take a test, all of which seemed cruel and wrong when considering our location.
The dives were incredible, the water was about 85 degrees 30 feet down, it was like diving in bathwater. The water was crystal clear and the fish and divers shared a mutual curiosity, allowing for great close up examination. Over the dives we saw black tip reef sharks, moray eels, giant sea turtles, dozens of huge puffer fish, clown fish, and of course fish of all shapes and sizes in every color of the rainbow, fashioned with a neon radiance.
