The Thorsted family visited Coco Beach 10 years ago and they still have the video where the staff sang a birthday song on Emma’s 4th birthday.

Now 10 years later the whole family Skov Thorsted decided to visit Coco Beach once again, but this time for taking the PADI Open Water Diver course. Their trip to the Philippines is planned to go to Coco Beach, Pandan Island and Boracay. And since they can dive at all the places they are visiting, they started their vacation at Coco Beach so they could get their divers license before heading on to the other destinations.

The Skov Thorsted family is getting ready for their first lesson in the pool.

During their course they had a lot of fun in and out of the water with their two instructors Rex and Neil. Even the academics and the exams were fun and sometimes it felt like a big workshop.

The Skov Thorsted family lined up for a group photo in Sabang Bay. Far behind Neil, second row: Henrik and Tenna and in the front row: Magnus, Emma and Karin.

On some of their dives they were surprised by the butterfly fishes and bat fishes which came very close up to them to check out if they had any food with them.

As planned they finished their course the day before leaving for their next adventure at Pandan Island and hopefully Apo Reef.

A lot of happy smiles after receiving their certifications and diplomas. From left to right: Henrik, Karin, Emma, Tenna and Magnus.
