From Texas to Thailand #2 Discover Scuba Diving

Image
From Texas to Thailand #2 Discover Scuba Diving - There I was, with my plans derailed, my optimism challenged and the choice of my next step unclear. After purchasing the basic set of snorkeling equipment from Mermaids Dive Center, I obtained a sense of their professionalism and knowledge. It was because of these characteristics; the only sensible option was to explore what else Mermaids had to offer. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/from-texas-to-thailand-2/

International School of Chonburi Snorkeling Day - Who knew that we had such an abundance of underwater natural beauty right on our doorstep? Children in Years 3-6 went on a snorkeling trip with the Mermaids team to Samaesan island yesterday and jumped into an underwater oasis filled with a kaleidoscope of vibrant fish and mesmerizing sea creatures. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/international-school-of-chonburi-pattaya-snorkeling-day/

Diving with Whale Sharks

Image
Diving with Whale Sharks - When a Whale Shark is spotted on the surface 20 minutes prior to your dive, you don't expect to drop down and be treated to spotting it instantly. And not only one of them but two Whale Sharks on a single dive. This is pretty much every divers dream come true. We were so grateful to spend an afternoon diving with these gentle and graceful creatures at Richleiu Rock, North Andaman. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com/april/

From Texas To Thailand #7 Being an Instructor. So there I was, certified PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor. After more than half a year of hard work and dedication, I achieved what at one point seemed unreachable. Days went by when I would wake up and forget I was one of “them”. The guys I looked up to everyday around the shop. Needless to say, I was definitely feeling accomplished. https://www.mermaidsdivecenter.com
