As soon as we settled into Koh Tao, we realized that we were in a prime scuba/snorkeling area. We didn’t necessarily come because this was the prime scuba-diving/snorkeling area, but many people did. We signed up for a scuba lesson with Good Times Adventures. Dad, Yve, Wescott, and I, would go on an underwater extravaganza. You might be wondering: isn’t Otto’s knee horrendous at this date in time? Well, the answer is yes, but my knee can’t stop me from experiencing the aquatic, subterranean world of Koh Tao.
As I swam through the underwater paradise, my mouth started to become dry from the crisp oxygen I was breathing. From time to time, I was going down to the coral, and would wave my hands over the feathery anemones. You know how in the movie Avatar, Jake goes out on his first day and finds these weird looking plants that shoot back into the ground right as he touches them? Well it was kind of exactly like that.
It was very peaceful under there. I tried to figure out what it would be like to be a fish, swimming free in the clear-as-day water; having colorful and oddly shaped coral everywhere you look; and having neon dance parties in the nighttime….it seemed like a pretty good gig 
This experience inspired me to get my diving certification in Bali, so I can dive in the Great Barrier Reef!
