Apnea Dive

Apnea Dive: http://www.apnea-total.com/free/


While I was hanging out there in Ko Tao I finally got myself over to Apnea Dive. I have been to Ko Tao so many times and been wanting to do it, but I had just been too damn lazy. I am so glad that I finally got over there because it was amazing. The instructors there were great. They were extremely experienced and their teaching style was impeccable. They really just filled you with confidence which enabled me to push myself.

I took the beginners course and the advanced course directly after that. I learned how to free dive properly and more importantly safely. I also learned how much I love it. I have a feeling it is going to be my newest obsession...besides traveling of course. Both courses together took only 5 days, but it was an amazing 5 days. After the 5 days I was going down to 30 meters (90ft). It was such an amazing feeling. To be that deep with just your mask and the air in your lungs. I wish that I had taken the class several months ago so I would have had time to take the master course (6 weeks). I will definitely make it back sometime hopefully in the near future to take it. I really loved the whole set up there at Apnea Total. I could totally see myself opening up a place like that in Central America. I will be spending my last week or two in Thailand and I am definitely going to go back and do a couple more dives before I head to Latin America. It is even better that they are right next to Seashell so I still don't have to go very from my home there in Thailand :o)
