Open Water Certified
Well we did it. We went and got certified. We are on our way. We had 4 amazing dives and now we are starting our advance course. We even got video taped on our last dive so for you guys at home you can watch us messing about underwater. (Jared’s notes – I scored a 98 on the written part cause I studied a lot, Maryanne didn’t study at all and got a 92. I guess it helps to have 200 dives already!)
Why you should not fight over a couple dollars! Today we went to the north part of the island, to get there it cost us 200 baht. Once we were done sightseeing that area we went looking for a taxi to another bay. We found one and asked the all important question ‘How Much?” Which we received a response of “200 baht”. Well Jared thought this was crazy since we payed 200 baht to get from our place to there and we were only asking to go half way back. So we said no and we walked. The walk took us about 1 1/2, but would have been less then 5 mins by car. We showed him!!! Or did we???? Well it was good exercise Jared said!
Well we did make it safe and sound and we burned off all the food we ate so it was really not all that bad. Plus we found some nice spots to stop and mess around for a bit. So we did actually have fun. We even played mini golf, boy was the course tough! Thankfully we had beer before and after the game! Man is it nice to drink during the day! I think we may look into renting a motorbike for a month!!
Below are some pictures of one of our dives.

That is so AWESOME! Yeah, you showed the taxi driver! They think they can pull a fast one on the tourists…hahahah!
Love you guys!

Congratulations on getting certified! I just read through all your blog posts. (Sorry, work has been a bit crazy with a couple new cases!) Sounds like you are having a great adventure. I’m so glad you made it back to the States before you took off. I had a blast in Tampa. I still laugh when I look at those photos from the poker night. (I try not to think about the next morning, however). It is awesome that you guys are doing this trip and I can’t wait to read more posts and see more pictures. Stay safe, take care of each other, and have fun!! Love ya!! Amy
