  • Fun diving @ Koh Phi Phi

    Fun diving @ Koh Phi Phi

    After some rest I took the final chance to complete my diving sequence in Phuket by heading out to Phi Phi Island. The pictures don’t show it but the sea was very harsh this day. It took us almost 3 hours to get to the island only to find out that a storm was coming…

    Advanced Open Water Diver – Phuket
