Nearly certified diver!

We've been in Koh Tao for about 4 days now. The journry took nearly 11 hours from Bangkok by bus and ferry - but its been well worth it. I really love it here, theres a great community feel - everyone is so friendly and welcoming!

We're staying in an air-conditioned beach hut - right on a sandy beach, and its just so relaxing!

We just did our 3rd day of our Open water dive course, and I'm feeling pretty confident now - I'm happy to let water into my mask, swap regulators with my budddy, ascend with no regulator, and loads of other stuff that I wouldn't have imagined myself brave enough to do!!

We've also made loads of new friends, mainly from the course - most are same as us, just travelling round - taking time off or have given up their jobs. Also met some random couple after Kee crashed after 5 mins of hiring a moped!! Yeh, bad idea - ended up paying 1000BT for some minor damage to the basket! And Kee was ok, just a few scratches on his leg and hand!

Now have loads of mozzie bites too - they're mega lethal on this island - totally immune to any strength of repellent!!

Feeling bit dizzy and nauseus now - feel like i'm still on the boat -best get off this comp!

Laters!
