Good To Be Back Under Water!

We got to go diving! Been in SE Asia for so long and almost all of it far away from the coast- it is good to see the bright blue waters of the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Sea! We dove Chumphon Pinnacle off of Ko Tao where a whale shark had been seen two days before, four days before and six days before. Unfortunately on the eighth day it rested leaving one more thing on our list before we die. Still it was wonderful to get back underwater and there were plenty of cool things to see. The brilliant hues of the giant clams are now up there with nudibranchs on my favorite animals to stare at and wonder at the amazing diversity and beauty of life.


Just as exciting as the diving was the snorkeling, especially when it was black-tip reef sharks swimming around us in Sharks Bay, a place that lived up to its name (though would have been more accurately named “Sea Cucumber Bay”) Now we need to go buy some lotto tickets in the hopes of winning to get to do some more diving.
