Day 7 - Koh Tao

Woke around 9am and packed all our dive kit together in preparation for todays dives  YAY!!!!

What I forgot to mention is that we're not actually fun diving (for those of you who don't know, a fun dive is actually just a leisurely dive following a guide around a dive sight) we're actually helping with 'Buoyancy World'  basically several of the dive schools have made different giant concrete structures, Star fish, Butterflies, Giant Clams, Octopus, Bamboo forest to name but a few.

On the day we arrived, a bunch of Eco divers were dumping the structures in the water at 'Twins' dive site and today we were moving them into place using brute force along with lifting bags over 50 meters or so.

Buoyancy World has been designed for training students to improve there abilities in the sea without causing damage to the natural enviroment.  We'll upload pictures soon.

It was good to get in the water again even though we've had a very tiring day.  I think we'll have a couple of fun dives tomorrow and just chill :-)

We're now sat in Crystal bar having a nice cold beer!  ...or two!

You are currently sitting in a bar having a beer. I am currently sitting in a swivel chair with a dodgy wheel at work with a 12 hour shift in front of me....! Enjoy.
