Discover Scuba & BBQ

Koh Lanta is starting to become hot and sunny days are ahead. I’m very happy to be on the boat during this time to get some ocean breeze and diving sessions in to cool me down instead of being under the warm sun in the shop.

My friends from back home has now left but they really enjoyed Lanta, at least that’s what they told me…

They had never dived before and had little time to finish a whole course so they took the quickest alternative in order to get out to the tropical water. They attended the course “Discover scuba diving”. It lasted two days. It consists of one hour in the pool to learn some easy moves and the following day out in the blue water they go. Martin was more of a snorkel guy and he really liked what he saw. After he had his head under surface for a few minutes he looks up at me and says “Oscar this is so awesome, so many fish and variety of colors!” Eddie and Henrik was diving and I saw them from the surface on their first time under water. Eddie was doing some kind of “dog swim” and Henrik was a little bit too “floaty” – hilarious to see. I followed them the second dive and they were much better. Third dive me and Eddie was diving on our own and it was like diving with an already certified diver. Amazing how quick some people learn. All of them were so happy to see what I see every day. It makes me happy to show people this amazing world (that shouldn't be taken for granted) and to make them smile!

Some evenings, I’ve been invited to some nice BBQ parties. People around here like to host BBQ nights at their house and let friends gather. It´s birthdays, holidays or just a regular day when someone organize a big cook up. I really like when many friends are together. We have each other and we're really taking care of one another.
