shazza's on her 3rd day of dive course, second in the water and she's enjoying it (thank god...) so today they take her out to a dive and she goes to 12m, a little scary first time, though this morning its more theory work.

I'm doing a re-integration dive, been nearly 5 years since I last dived, but i'm out on the same boat as shazza, we'll both do 2 dives today, and she should finish her course tomorrow which was 8,100 Baht, or about 160 quid...Bargain!!

then tomorrow eveing its wales v england at midnight, and something else called valentines night....

as you can tell, Koh Tao is great, were in dive resort, air-con room for 10 quid 20m from beach!!!

last night I had a whole BBQ mackeral, and shazza had some huge prawns, its definitely a hard life. were away from main busy part and its lovely, not sure when were leaving, prob around tuesday then were off to koh Lanta which is apparantly even more beautiful, did i hear snow's on the way for you lot....

hope everyone is good and well, i'm off my tablets now and everything seems under control....

cheers now
