Scuba diving is not merely a sport, it’s an exploration of a hidden world, an adventure that brings you closer to nature unlike anything else. With each dive, you step into a journey of uncovering secrets, as the wonders of the underwater world present themselves in a silent yet magnificent spectacle, inviting you into an epic larger than any ordinary experience.
My scuba diving journey started in the exotic waters of Thailand’s Koh Lanta island. It was a last minute holiday, decided on the spur of the moment and pretty much by availability of flights and hotels. Little did we know that this small island town near Krabi, is where we will find our life long passion. The Open Water Diver Certification which is a 2 to 3 days course taught us all we needed to get our feet wet for diving. The first dive was nothing short of a revelation – a plunge into another world where vivid corals and rich and abundant marine life left me mesmerized. What was previously confined to the realms of Nat Geo and Discovery documentaries and occasional snorkeling glimpses, had burst into vibrant life all around me. In a single gaze, I was looking at more life forms than I had ever seen in my entire life.
