During our examination
See the six black shadows in the water? That is us, See the floating guy without fins, that is our examiner Rob. :)
Pick up from our hotel tomorrow at 9am, then down to Phuket Town harbour. From there we will take the ferry across, so should be arriving midday at Koh Phi Phi. We have a plan to just check in to a reasonable hotel for a couple nights while hunting for the perfect bungalow.
Our criteria are:
1. Internet connection in the bungalow
2. Peace and quiet
3. A balcony/terrace
4. If possible with a view or on the beach.
5. Hot water
And all this for a reasonable price, so we might have to give on some of our criteria, but let's see!

Still waiting to get our official teaching status from PADI, but with a bit of luck we should be working by the end of
Happy Instructor Party

After making a farewell tour to Norway in November 2006, we took off for Mauritius in December 2006 and became PADI Divemasters. We then moved on to Phuket, Thailand in March 2007 and completed our PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor course in April 2007. We worked for 2 months on Koh Phi Phi and div... full info
