I went on a quick trip up to Koh Lanta this weekend, where one of my oldest friends…. ummm… I mean… she’s not OLD… but I’ve known her longer than I’ve known almost anyone else, has been diving during her regular resort’s low season. I’ve spent quite a lot of time deliberately avoiding diving, and only partially because the thought of not breathing naturally occurring oxygen creeps me out, but mostly because I know I’d neeeed to take up underwater photography…. And that’s just crazy expensive.
Anyways, the Anti Gravity Divers team was totally amazing, and now I’m pretty much set on breaking my vow not to dive, just because of them. I didn’t dive this trip… just hung out, did some snorkeling and shot a few photos (above water!) of the team and their brand-spanking-new boat. Next time I go up there (and believe me, there’ll be a next time), I’m diving for sure.
Well that’s about two paragraphs more than I ever write on a blog, so a huge thanks to everyone at Anti Gravity Divers for a weekend I won’t be forgetting anytime soon, especially Anand, P’Pao, Sarah, Oscar the kitteh, and of course Tamara and Mat Yie. If you want to dive in Krabi, look them up! They’re based at Amantra Resort and Spa, Koh Lanta.
Patrick - And where are the pictures of Oscar the kitteh? Humm? What a lead-on – pique my interest with possibilities of scuba-diving kitteh, then give me nothing but great shots of a really fun time
Grr. We wantz moar kitteh!
Looks like you had a blast!
Carlina - @Patrick… aahahahaha… oscar the kitteh wasn’t on the boat. the poor little baby had a bit of a traumatizing visit to the vet. I promise he’ll make an appearance on the next post… you’ll just have to come back and see ;)
Magalie - Whoa, you are just mindblowingly amazing. I wasn’t expecting such great photos of a dive shop and a dive boat!
I hear your pain about diving and pictures, but trust me, when you start, you have too many other things to think about and focus on before getting to the point where you’d feel ready for it! That should spare you for some time :P
Lindsey - The last picture is my favorite… <3 Thailand and their islands :D
