Sorry Mom & Dad....
We are migrating to Koh Tao. This is our new home. We are living at a place called Buddah View. I spend the days diving over beautiful coral reefs looking at Sting Rays, Trigger fish and millions of beautiful fish. You may well all be bored of hearing me say this because it feels to me like each week i see something new that amazes me, but diving here IS the most amazing thing i have EVER seen.
Marge will vouch that in the good old years when i was 6 I spent my days trying to fly (and never succeeded), but diving is the closest thing possible. You even have an up and down button!
I am on my 3rd day of my Open Water PADI dive course, and have done 3 dives, and 1 exam - which i passed with 94%....it's amazing how well i can do when i want to learn rather than HAVE to learn. I am taking my advanced diving course next week.
I have found my calling. OK, maybe windsurfing...or maybe just both.
I will tell you all a story to make you jealous, stop reading if it is raining and you hate work....
Let me begin....
Our instructor, Alex is a great guy from Germany, he and his friend from Sweden own a 22 meter yatch off the coast of Krabi (Thailand), it has 11 cabins with hot water, T.V, laptops, camera and video equipment. They charter it for $800 per person for 8 day live aboard dives around the Andaman coast and India. It is booked out for the next few months. Alex works here for 1 year instructing, while his friend captains the boat, then each year they swap. They see each other for holidays and to count thier money. We are going to stay with Alex in 2007.
Harry, interested in doing the same? We have a Gecko that will fund it.
Goodbye from Paradise.

Hazza - i didn't mean go on Alexs' boat - I meant BUY a boat and do the same as his. I am 4 weeks from being a Dive Instructor, you can do it SO cheaply out here, and so cheaply! Georgie can Captain the Ship, Sam can do the Sales, and get the corperate money men over here to train and we can teach them to Dive in the afternoon. Sorted!!!!
