🤿 Confessions of a Koh Tao Dive Addict: How One Try Dive Turned Into a New Life 🌴
Chapter 1: “I’ll Just Try It” 🫠
It was a Tuesday. I was hungover. I had sand in weird places and no intention of scuba diving.
“Too expensive,” I said. “Too scary. I’m just here for the beaches.” 🏖️
Enter Koh Tao.
An hour later, I was underwater 🤿, staring at a turtle 🐢, trying not to squeal through my regulator. My mask fogged from the excitement.
It was magic. It was wild. It was... love at first breath.
Chapter 2: The Descent (Into Obsession) 😵💫
I came up grinning like an idiot 😁.
“Can I do that again?”
“Sure,” said the instructor, smirking.
That was the beginning of the end.
✅ Open Water
✅ Advanced Adventurer
✅ Nitrox
✅ Buying my own dive computer because “it’s an investment” 💸
I stopped wearing makeup. Started waking up early (willingly?!).
I was becoming... one of them. 😎
Chapter 3: Koh Tao Gets Under Your Skin 🐚
Koh Tao doesn’t scream. It whispers. And if you listen closely, you’ll hear:
🌅 The sunsets calling you
🐟 The fish playing just beneath the surface
🛵 The scooters buzzing past beach bars
💬 Strangers becoming dive buddies
💙 And something in your chest saying, “Stay.”
Chapter 4: I’m Just Doing My Divemaster, I Swear 😅
“Just one more course…”
“Just one more month…”
“Just until I see a whale shark 🐋…”
Next thing you know, you're living in a bungalow, geeking out over nudibranchs 🐌, and scheduling life around tide charts.
Now I’m teaching diving. I have tan lines from my wetsuit. I eat mango sticky rice for dinner 🍚🥭.
I haven’t worn actual pants in months. And I’ve never been happier.
So... Should You Try a Dive on Koh Tao? 🤔
Only if you’re cool with:
🌊 Falling headfirst into an ocean addiction
🧜 Making new friends from all over the world
🐡 Floating next to rainbow fish in perfect silence
🔥 Maybe never wanting to leave
⚠️ Dive Warning: Side effects may include ocean dreams, barefoot living, and spontaneous life changes.
