After one week in Ko Tao

---

I just finished with my dives in Ko Tao, the conditions were amazing with an average 20 meter visibility and very warm water. I look forward to diving around Krabi in the next week or so. It was very easy to get a little too comfortable here, since its my first real stop I think eight days is plenty of time and will be visiting Khao Sok national park next. Every night ended at around 3 in the morning and the Large Chang is the backpackers staple, right up there with rice and pad thai. On the scuba boat I learned an important lesson, there is a difference between tourist Thai and ethnic Thai food. I was eating some noodle soup in between dives and decided to sneak a few scoops of the crew's food and almost couldn't make my next dive it was so spicy. It was minced pork that carried an 11 on the stupid spicy meter. I met some great people; Craig a 6'6 Brit that I may see in Aus, Rebecca and Kerstin two German girls I'm going to Khao Sok with and Andy a Colorado kid that lives 6 houses down from my Aunt and Uncle on Caley street.

This is right on the beach, there are tree huts to lounge in and if you cant make it home. Hammocks or a large mushroom to curl up on.
