I arrive via Catamaran at 2.30pm and am met by Buddha View Dive Resort at the port. A short drive to Chaolak and I then I have time to settle in and a quick swim before my dive briefing.
I agree to start the next day and meet Karine who will be doing the course with me. We are very chuffed that there are only two of us. We watch a video that afternoon to kick off the course and collect our books. We're told to read chapters one and two that night before class tomorrow, so that scuppers my plan of exploring the local bars! I'm up til 11pm just reading and finding it all very technical and bewildering (a bit like a school science lesson).
Buddha View gets its name as it overlooks a beautiful bay with giant boulders at the headland that resemble a large buddha. I marvel at the beauty of the island and the bay I'm staying on. It really is paradise.
