LAST OF THE BIG TIME DRINKERS

FIRST OF THE BIG TIME WHALE SHARKS

After getting back from Chaing Mai I decided that 3 months of drinking was'nt doing my body or finance's any good so I have given up drinking for 1 month, I don't think it was a great idea to give up on the night I did as it was Coreen and Ali's snorkle test and IDC (passed instructors) party anyway I joined a gym and I've been on the wagon for four days now and the gods of diving have rewarded me as today I saw and dived with the holy grail of the diving community the WHALE SHARK, also yesterday I got to watch Irish mark get attacted by a titan trigger fish which I filmed but I was laughing so hard I nearly chocked on seawater anyhow only 24 more days to go until I can have a drink, my next blog( about a month or so) I should be a qualified diving instructor.

Blissfully unaware of the oncoming attack

Titan trigger fish can be very aggresive and have been known to attact daft Irish men

Daft Irish man survives trigger fish attack I got a really funny video clip of the attack in which it rips one of his fin's off and you can hear me laughing so hard I'm chocking on my reg unfortunately this site would take a lifetime to upload such a clip
