Diving with Roctopus!

One of the guys we met on Koh Phangan just happened to work for an awesome (and very small) dive company called Roctopus Dive so we checked them out and booked to do our SSI open water course with them which would allow us to dive anywhere in the world!

Now any body who knows me knows that I'm petrified of the sea and have not been in the sea above my knees since I was little. It has been an aim of mine to conquer this fear whilst we were away and after 4 dives to up to 17m I can well and truly say the fear is conquered!

We started off with some theory and a pool session then on day 3 we were off out into the big blue! The weather was admittedly pretty poor and so the visibility underwater was not great either, we could prob see a max on 3 meters which also probably meant that we did not see as much as we could have but what we did see was pretty amazing! We saw lots of different types of coral and clown fish, angel fish and trigger fish and parrot fish, all of which are amazingly coloured, as is the coral and the plants that grow on it!

We had a videographer following us around on the last day so she did a lovely (albeit expensive) video as proof of our underwater adventures!

Bring on more diving in the rest of our trip!
