So we came back to Koh Tao. My reason being i wanted to do my advanced diving and the other lads just needed some time to chill after a manic time in Koh Phangan. Sounds like a good plan as i can do with some rest time too. We arrived back and tried to check in to our old room but unfortunately it was fully booked so we got one near by. There was four of us crammed in to 1 double bed and a single bed. The room was tiny, i doubt you could of even swung a cat around your head. Not that i would with animal cruelty and what not. So my diving wasn't starting for another two days so we spent the first night having about four beers and then went home.
The next day we moved out and went back to our old rooms and then spent all of it on the beach messing around. I was also catching up on my blogs as i got soooo far behind and to do them in Koh phangan was 5 baht a minute, utter rip off. Something to do with the local mafia or something. This night we all stayed off alcohol and got an early night.
Waking up, feeling fresh for a change is something what doesn't happen to often over here. I had to be at my diving school for 8 am. I was there on the dot looking fresh which surprised most people who worked there. Last time i turned up late smelling of beer. So we did about 40 minutes of paper work, some compass skills and then lunch. After lunch we did two dives. Tonight i had to do a night which i was looking nervous but excited about. I could picture my self turning around 30 meters down and shining my torch on to a big hungry shark smiling at me. That never happened. The dives went great though. We headed back and i rushed home to get ready as we had planned to have a few beers tonight as football was on. I think we got home about 4 in the morning.
I had to be at the shop for 7 15 as we had two early morning dives. My course was slightly rushed as they new i had to be back to Koh Phangan for the 30th. We went out and did my final two dives which was a breeze. Here they examined us on our chosen topics for the course. Mine was the night dive and identifing fish and coral. Sweet, another course passed. We headed back and i said my thanks and goodbye to the staff.
Now the time was coming to catch the boat back to Koh Phangan....
