Today was very sadly our last day in Koh Tao and I took this picture just before we were leaving which shows just how gorgeous it is. Today we also qualified as advanced divers after two more dives at Sail Rock where we got to go out on our own and everyone but me and Christelle spotted sharks because we were two busy sneaking biscuits into the water, stealing shells and laughing at each other and being silly.

As a celebration for passing our Open Water PADI course, the group went out for dinner again together and then all came back to the Fishbowl bar to watch the DVD of us scuba diving which was amazing!
