15th-16th Diving

We caught a boat over to Ko Lanta from Krabi and arrived in time to hide in a restaurant for a torrential rain storm! Oh dear, not what we'd planned. But by evening the sun had come back enough to take tthe picture in the previous entry.
I'd wasn't well the next day but Gemma started her Open Water dive course as planned and dosed me up with Thai antibiotics in the evening. Luckily they did the trick.
The last 2 days we've been diving about 2 hours off the coast off Ko Lanta: Ko Ha and Koh Bida. It's been beautiful hot and sunny weather and we've had some great dives. I have nearly finished my Advanced Open Water and been enjoying learning a bit more about buoyancy, and trying to take pictures of fish underwater- not only do they move but it's hard to get the light, the angle, then a current moves you or you lose control of buoyancy! Hard work. One more dive day tommorrow. Today we saw a Leopard Shark which was beautiful- and big, it'd be hard to top that.
