Hi!

Well, we're now both qualified scuba divers! We got the PADI Open Water qualification over the last 4 days which entitles us to dive to 18m anywhere in the world, at any point in the rest of our lives. We're hoping to do some more dives in Indonesia (maybe Bali/Gilley Isles) and Oz (Great Barrier Reef!)

We spend yesterday evening on the mini golf course here on Koh Tao. It was probably one of the hardest courses I've played (being the massive mini golf enthusiast I am...) and I ended up about 12 over par. Even with a hole in one. Then we went to the all you can eat buffet - great value at about 2 pound 50 (no pound sign on this machine I'm afraid).

We're probably here for another day or 2 (we've got a free dive tomorrow morning for booking online) and then off to Koh Phagnan (sorry for the spelling - I assume it's wrong) and/or Koh Phi Phi (tee hee).

Pictures are a bit thin on the ground (sorry!) but I'll try to get some more up at some point.

Hope all is well at home!

Well done, both of you! You have got some fabulous dives to look forward to. Word to the wise - putting your camera in a plastic bag doesn't make it into an underwater camera. You can get underwater disposable cameras though, if you feel that photographic moment coming on! Fondest love Mum xxx
