Change

The urge for a change in direction seems sometimes to coincide with mid-life. The children are now grown up which releases us from our weary daily routines, awakening a longing to break out of the mould and dive into new challenges.

The sea

Have you ever thought how amazing the undersea world is? And what wonderful mysteries lie beneath our oceans? And if you are one of those who love scuba diving, can you pinpoint the reasons behind your love for the sea? Thailand, especially the southern waters around the regions of Phuket and Phi Phi offer some of the most scenic oceanic diving views you could possibly imagine. What a wonderful place to visit, where you can visit and develop your new skills in scuba diving ??

The experience

A lot of people first experienced the undersea world with Jacques-Yves Cousteau (1910-1997). He helped design the world’s first aqualungs in 1943. Through his TV series, he made it possible for millions to discover the world’s undersea mysteries. He lead us into new underwater habitats and introducing us to some of the many species of plants and wildlife living beneath our oceans. Through the Calypso, his crew and his eyes, he was able to share these amazing discoveries with us. Cousteau taught generations about the necessity to love, respect and protect the environment that lay below our seas. His pioneer documentaries paved the way for all that came after.

Like flying an aircraft, diving the oceans is one of humankind’s special gifts, and it’s one that we can all enjoy throughout our lives.
