Ok so I'm finally up off my butt after 6 weeks of rarely diving and waiting on my workpermit. I've been freelancing and working for various companies, guiding cert. divers, dsds, helping with rescue course... once even a tour leader.
BUT!!! I went out yesturday with 3 really experience dutch divers to the Plateue dive site on Rachai Noi... (dont quote me I barely know my islands yet) and we dropped down to 12m, then 22m, slight current but we stayed together.... and then there is was 15mins into the dive!!!! My FIRST MANTA RAY!!!! it was so huge, and gracefull and calm... and AMAZING!!!! it just hung around us for awhile. you could see almost 15other divers just gazing at its beauty... following it deeper and deeper and deeper... and ummmm time to check deco time! It was amazing!
AAAAhHHHH such a high!
