We made a pact that we will only dive warm water from here on out! Talk about a gorgeous re-entry to the sport. Warm water, visibility 20 meters at least, and VERY helpful dive masters. We’d recommend the Crystal Dive Shop on Kho Tao to anyone from beginning to expert; best instruction we’ve ever had!
Anyhow, we are enjoying our last full day on Koh Tao, exploring another beach tomorrow before flying back to Bangkok to stay in Chinatown for 2 nights before mosying over to Cambodia. We are on the weather watch though, because all the travelers coming this way are saying there is terrible flooding in the north, possibly moving as far as Bangkok later this week. One gal said she’d just come from Siem Reip, our Cambodian first stop, and they were up to their hips in water.
But we agreed, Koh Tao is like Cozumel was when we first started diving there in the early 80’s; spot on the map that no one (yet) seems to know about.
