About one and half years ago, I went to Phuket for Discover Scuba Diving. Although I will never ever forget that moment I jumped into the water, I felt choked, the experience was pretty impressive. Since then, I get addicted to scuba diving. Last year I got my Open Water License in Bohol.

This time I was planning to dive in Similan just before it is closed (Mid May). But after I bought the air tickets, I found all the liveaboard diving programs require more diving experience or an AOW (Advanced Open Water). Probably this is a good time for me to level up and gain more experience.

一年半以前，去普吉的时候体验了几次潜水，虽然我永远忘不了第一次跳进水里的窒息感，但是体验还是非常的难忘，于是自从那次，我便开始有点爱上水肺潜水了。去年在薄荷岛拿了Open Water潜水牌照之后一直都没有再潜过了。

这次本打算赶在今年五月中闭岛之前去斯米兰船宿，可是没想到船宿普遍要求AOW。我等菜鸟还是有一点点风险。本着对自己负责的态度，这次或许也是个机会升级一下AOW并且多刷几瓶气了。

 Probably due to the seasonal alternation and full moon, the water is less limpid than last time. Especially PhiPhi island, it’s even a little bit turbid. Some Japanese tourists went to Phuket just for Phi Phi Island, but they left with disappointment.

But fortunately, I met a lot of nice people: coaches, Thai Diving Master Tony, Danish Mom-Like Diving Master Karina, and some new friends. I came back with stunning memory.

DM Tony got numerous stunning captures for me. I am so impressed by all these diving masters, and I am really appreciating.

也许是由于季节交替和满月的原因，水没有上一次来的时候清澈了，特别是皮皮岛，那种清澈见底的感觉已经没有了。有些日本游客是为了皮皮岛才去普吉岛的，结果却落得失望而归。

但所幸的是这次我遇见的人都特别的友好：包括潜水教练，泰籍的潜导Tony（他找了个瑞典老婆），丹麦的母亲般潜导Karina，也认识了些新朋友。也算是满载着美妙的记忆而归。。

潜导Tony自愿地帮我抓拍了不少视频以及很美的照片。这次遇到的所有潜导都非常的好。实在是非常的感恩。
