Day ??
Life on Koh Tao
Ive live the life here on this small paradise island for some days now. The pace here is slow with loads of good friends and good cold beer (tiger is the best one for food but Singha is good for just drinking, chang is not accepted ive learned).
I got my divemaster course started and so far i had 4 fun dives and 3 chapters of theory (heavy stuff with all the added responsebility, youre looking after others aand not just your self!!) Its all been good fun and the name of the days or the date isnt important (unless there is paperwork involved). The diving here is divided into the morning dives, boat leaves at 0700 an the evening dives boat leaves at 1200. When the evening boat comes back all the divers sit outside and log their dives and have a chat about the dives over a good cold beer, we usually sit around until there is dinner time when we order some take away food to the shop. After that its just to head back home (usually about 2400) a quick litle walk through the jungle where you find your bed.
The people ive met here are really friendly and we all got in common that we love diving. We got most continents represented too which can lead to some pretty unusual and fun discussions.
Ive got a new hotel now. Its a nice simple bungalow on the edge of the jungle and its next to my buddy DMT( divemaster trainee). Its still really simple with a manually flushed toilet but atleast the water is clean and its safe enough to leave your valubales in it. I got a litle gekko friend that like to sit around on my porch, its nice to have him there because he eats all the bugs :P.
The conditions here are pretty good with about 30 degrees steady both in the water and the air. We do have the ocational monsun rain storms. But other than that its nice and sunny, in other words good days to spend on the nice white beaches. Just mentioned this so all you back in the cold dark rain could get some nice mental pictures to get you through the day. :P
Pictures and updates from this litle paradise will follow.
over and out
