My goal was to see a different culture and to achieve my biggest goal: becoming a scuba diving instructor. Since I arrived in Koh Phi Phi, Thailand, I fell I love with the place and the people. I woke up every day to go scuba diving and prepare for the big day in which I was going to become an instructor. Life in Phi Phi was perfect…my office was the ocean and my co-workers all enthusiastic travellers from all over the world…and of course, I was the only Guatemalan there! Perfect! Working for a dive centre as a divemaster prepared me for the big thing…the instructor course. I finished my course in September and on my birthday, the 18th, I passed my instructor examination. Best birthday gift ever! Since then I dedicated every day to teaching people the wonders of diving and the beauties of our local reefs….my everyday friends: leopard sharks, hawksbill turtles, clownfishes, morray eels, and some whale sharks and manta rays that visited us every once in a while!
