The day was upon us. We walked the massive 4 min. walk to another resort to meet up with our guide. We were ordered chicken fried rice (lunch is included), collected our gear, and made our way to the beach. There were only about 12 of us (compared to the 30+ we saw on other boats), which made for much more personal space. We all loaded into a longboat - which is more or less shaped like a really long banana (you can see one in the blog title) and were taken to the tour boat. This, however, was no ordinary tour boat - it was a snorkeling boat!!!
We began our trip around the island to our various diving sites. I don't remember the names of any of them, but I do recall that Shark Island does NOT have any sharks, or so Phil says (our tour guide/snorkeling coach/aquatic life expert extraordinaire). At this point I will apologize for some of the terrible pictures, but I was using an underwater disposable camera.
Koh Tao - from our boat
I decided to jump in at the first site, snorkel, flippers and mask. It took a total of about 14 seconds to realize that I'm so thin that I don't even float in SALT water, so I went right back to the boat and grabbed a life jacket. What a great decision. While wearing the life jacket it becomes very difficult to move in a way that causes water to enter your snorkel. Also, you can easily have a nice, leisurely kick around the ocean, observing the beautiful and colourful coral, fish, anemones, sea cucumbers etc. (even though they look kind of grey in the pictures) I even got to see a couple of Black Tipped Reef Shark swim under me (only the babies though).
There IS a shark in this picture. I swear.
Anemone
A bigger anemone
The beaches of Koh Nangyuan. The nearer one is actually underwater, as it was high tide, but that only brings the water up to mid-calf level.
Very Nirvana-esque
Not as much.
