First I was impressed by the beautiful colors of the sea at the Blue Cave, and next I was amazed to see a large whale shark up close. Since we were in a small group, the guide was very supportive and made us feel safe. We really had a wonderful time.

I was not sure if I could physically do both, but I managed to finish. The parasailing scenery was as beautiful as I had imagined. I had a little trouble removing my ears when diving. But I guess that's just the way it is.
