PERFECT Day in Koh Lipe, Thailand (first time scuba diving!)

We spend the most PERFECT day in the beautiful southern island of Koh Lipe. We are staying in the most recommended diving resort, Castaway Resort, where we will be trying scuba diving for the first time! Koh Lipe is a tiny island paradise located in the Tarutao National Marine Park, famous for its coral-rich waters and spectacular dive sites.

[@dvmartel1]

Dang you guys! Congrats on starting scuba! Perfect compliment to your channel. We are experienced divers and happy to see that you may be able to add more content to your travels.

[@FloraandNote]

It was the most amazing experience! We are looking into places to get our certification. Have you dived in Thailand? Do you have any recommendations?

[@dvmartel1]

@@FloraandNote We have done many dives in Thailand. However, these were years ago and I could not offer suggestions that would be valid today. In general, I like what you showed us of the clear waters in Lipe. That area all the way to Krabi would be ideal. You know enough now to interview dive shops and find the right vibe, right instructor and attitudes to make your Open Water cert experience fun.

[@david-reason]

I just watched your Tim Horton's coffee shop Promo and ChinaTown Street Food videos with Dad! I loved Koh Lipe. It was worth the hassle to get there. You're making me think I should start diving . . . 555. Great video, guys. Happy New Year 2022.

[@FloraandNote]

Wow thanks David! Glad you're enjoying our videos :) Koh Lipe is definitely worth going. We recently got our diving certification in Koh Tao, take a look at that video to see if it's something you'd want to do (96 HOURS IN PARADISE is the title of that video!).

[@yingsthaicookinghome2839]

So so so very beautiful... Seeing your videos really makes me wanna travel again. Fortunately, very fortunately we have wonderful Taling Ngam Beach just around the corner. Keep on enjoying looking fwd to the next episode.

[@FloraandNote]

We were actually just talking about Taling Ngam today, how we haven't explored it enough. Do you have any recommendations for us? Places to check out or restaurants to try?

[@yingsthaicookinghome2839]

@@FloraandNote Such a nice area here in Taling Ngam. Samui vibes like back in the old days. Check out the beach between i-Talay and Intercontinental or just stop by our place - we are hidden in the jungle. A bit remote, nice and quiet... Have fun :)

Hi Flo and Note. Once you'll have your PADI certificate, much nearer than Koh Lipe, you'll be able to discover the beautiful seabeds of Ko Tao.

[@advantasian]

Awesome to see the two of you have been diving. Myself I'm a scuba diving instructor on Samui but due to the circumstance haven't been diving in a long time. Really missing it. But great to see the two of you having made this experience :) I'm sure it has not been that last time...

[@FloraandNote]

That's awesome, Daniel! You must have seen so many interesting things in the underwater world. We're looking forward to getting certified. Do you have any recommendations for where we should go in Samui, Phangan or Koh Tao?

[@advantasian]

Oh yes... I've seen a few nice things throughout the last 10 yrs. For diving over here you need to go to either Sail Rock or Ko Tao. Sail Rock is one of the best dive sites in Thailand so definitely check that one out. There are still a few operators on Samui that go to Sail Rock but you would need to check with them as they are not able to do trips every day. Can ask me on details anytime :) In the meantime: Enjoy your trip around Southern Thailand.

[@lizzyriley8490]

@@FloraandNote yes we dived there in 2019. It was really good. I can remember seeing massive groupers and a huge school of barracudas but the visibility that day was not great.

[@FloraandNote]

Thank you! We're also glad to see some growth on our channel 😍 Someone actually looked it up and said maybe I didn't have enough oxygen. I felt fine underwater and had no problems coming up at all. So I'm not completely sure. I think I do have a tendency to take short breaths.. so maybe I need to work on taking longer, deeper breaths before I try diving any deeper.

@@FloraandNote i googled it and purple lips can be caused by the red blood cells not getting enough oxygen. You were probably very nervous and weren't breathing enough or maybe regulator pressure?
