Koh Tao, Thailand

Finally arrived to Koh Tao, without getting my money stolen this time. Met up with swedish Caroline again and checked in in the room where she stay'd with three other swedish girl. Beautiful location, right on the beach with the best sunsetview. Spend the day together with three other swedish guys and drove on motos around the island. (sat on the back this time. Thailand's traffic are crazy, driving on the wrong side)

One of the girls I did my open water diving with, Cornelia, is back on the island as well and staying with our diveinstructor Robin. Met up with her later for a few beers, before we joined Carro and the other guys for the rest of the night.

I spent one day chillin on the beach fore I started my advanced open waterdiving together with Robin. Did two dives down to 30 metres. Managed to se a turtle, even if Robin missed it beeing to busy whatching me going crazy over the compass trying to find my way back to the boat. Did two more dives the next afternoon together with 2 another swedish, father and daughter. Was way more relaxed beeing in lead this time and did a really good dive. Saw another turtle as well.

We was about to do a nightdive in the dark when Cornelia joined us as well. In some reason I couldn't do it. Started to freak out and panicked really bad. Couldn't think straight and took my reglator out in the deep of about 10 metres. Robin helped me to get calmed, reglator back and up from the water where I got back to the boat. As I never panicked like this before I couldn't tell that it was coming either, but it felt terrible, worst thing ever.

As I still wanted my advanced certificate I had to do my last dive today insteed. I was still really worried, terryfied that I would end up like last night. Thats probably why I started to feel like that again. This time I knew ahead, could signalate to Robin before and he could helped me calm down and keep my breath controled. So I did do the dive, saw a third turtle, a wreck, but it was not too easy ..
