Diving in Pi ......(Pi)

Today we tried our scuba fins on and set out to see some underwater scenery. The two dives we did were called Koh Haa Yai (Twin Cathedrals) and Koh Haa Naun (The Chimney). Both of the dives started with numerous tropical fish at your fingertips and beautiful coral that vibrated with a rainbow of colors. The highlight of the dives included a swim through shaft called the chimney that was about 10 meters long. At the top you had to be careful not to surface in the wave swells as we were not ready to complete our dive. On our second dive we entered two caves that you could surface in the air bubble located inside the island. The really neat aspect of the cave was its ability to fill with mist as the pressure inside the cave decreased due to the wave action outside. Then spontaneously the mist would disappear as the wave pressure forced it of the cracks in the limestone structure. It seemed as the island was breathing and we were in its lungs. The barracuda and crocodile needle fish were the most dangerous fish we encountered although we hope to see some black tip reef sharks and leopard sharks in the next few dives.
