It was an early start to the day, Greg, Mark, Donna, Matt, Sarah, Mel, Alex and Emma all went on a discovery dive tour. We departed the hotel and ventured south of Phuket island to meet our boat for the 2.5 hour journey to the island of Ban Raya. After arriving, we suited up with all of our equipment and took a dinghy to shallow water where we entered the water. Our instructor (Stefan) took us one at a time down to the bottom and we did our checks and we all passed with flying colours. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We then swam to deeper water where we could see a lot more marine life. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>We then surfaced for and was towed back to the mother ship on the dinghy. We had a wonderful Thai lunch and shortly after, we prepared for our second dive, this time it was in deeper water. We jumped into the water one at a time and slowly went down a line to the bottom, from there we ventured down to 12 metres.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We saw many wonderful marine life as well as some colourful coral however our dive was cut short as Mark ran low on oxygen and we all had to surface. We had a quite night and had dinner with new friends Tom, Donna and Emma from WA!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
