PADI Open Water Diver Certification

in Pattaya

15-16 October 2005

 

There are many reasons why I like to scuba diving, but first of all I would like to give thanks to Jeremy since he is the one who introduced me to this amazing sport! and thanks him very much for his support and all the advice that he's been giving me.  Without him I wouldn't have made it this far.  Anyway, I went to certify for my open water level in October 2005 in Pattaya with my instructor, Pe' Nong and my scuba buddy, Som.

They were talking about the piece of wood that they found yesterday and someone told me it's about 100 years old... believe it or not!

                

Someone's found an electric fan. It's about 80 years old from a German boat... he found it while we did the wreck dive but I guess he found it before though and just lifted it up today. Very nice to see this kind of thing... GE is the brand name.

 

 

He is the one who found it. He is also an instructor and the owner of the boat. Very kind and super skillful. I wish I could be just half as skillful as he is. I would like to give special thanks for you and your staff for taking care all of us. We had a really fun dives on your boat.

 

 

31 Dec 05 - 5 Jan 06

I have to mention him as my favorite dive master. I went to scuba dive in Krabi province and he was my dive master then so we became good friends. His name is Brad... Very good service and I get to see a lot of things. Thank you for taking care of me and touring me around  Phi Phi dive sites. Now he works in Malaysia already... wish to dive with you again someday my friend.
