Leaving the Seeka Boutique hotel before 8:00 a.m. seemed like a good idea if you want to get in a full day of scuba diving. The Andaman Sea is home to an underwater paradise visible only to those equipped with scuba gear.
It was a windy day making the boat toss and turn offering a wild, unpredictable ride. However, after churning for an hour and a half Georg and Erik entered the quiet world below to get a glimpse of the kaleidoscope of colours, shapes and textures of the undersea world.
They had heard that many divers get a glimpse of the grey reef shark, but they were not so lucky today. The visibility could have been better, but nevertheless they saw a few different types of hard and soft corals, and thousands of clownfish (nemo), a few cuttlefish, and scorpion fish and few spotted ealgerays. Leopard sharks, and whale sharks, they were told are often hanging around to greet visitors, but today there were none, but as one diving slogan goes "the worst day diving is better than the best day at work". The one and half hour trip home was on a calmer sea and everyone, but the captain had a good nap.
