Day three, we celebrate. No more wet suits!

We've all passed. The validity of the certification is diminished. Certifying a panicking scuba diver is not safe. My time teaching swimming outlined the dangers of passing students onto classes beyond their capabilities.

What if she had an accident using her certification?

Not our issue. Koh Tao pushes out as many divers as they can. Factory line divers, minimal skills and confidence. 

The following day, we sleep in and eat delicious cinnamon buns. It's Christmas Eve, no time to be bitter about a course failing our expectations. Hopefully, we'll learn buoyancy in time.
