This highly personal account from Racha Yai, Thailand captures the thrill and excitement of scuba diving at its best
Source: tracyjeanmills.blogspot.fiOne thing I was excited to do in Thailand was go scuba diving! It’s not very often that I get to scuba dive and I had heard that Thailand was one of the top places in the world to do it. I told everyone in the group to get certified before our trip so we could all go. Regardless of what any of them did… I was going. Daniel was the only one that ended up getting certified before we left so we were both pumped to go! Ellis ended up coming with us and doing “Discover Scuba” which is a crash course on scuba diving and you stay with your own Dive Master the whole time (which is why he isn’t in many of our pictures. It ended up being a little rainy while we were there, but we were still able to go. We were pumped!
Here are some deep thoughts about scuba diving coming from Gold Coast.

Scuba diving is undoubtedly my favorite activity in the entire world. Words can’t describe the feeling of being submerged completely underwater for an hour or so and only hearing the sound of your breathing. It is the most peaceful and beautiful thing one can ever do, I think. If I could get paid a normal salary to be a scuba instructor I would have already become one. My love for the ocean is overwhelming, especially after being in Australia for a whole semester now. On one of my most recent dives in the Great Barrier Reef I began to think about how many life lessons scuba diving has taught me. Here are only a few.
