24th November 2016

I don't really know where the time has gone, it just flies by.

What's been happening?  Well, no real big changes, I've been doing ECO with the DMT's (some pics below) and Si's been flat out, as per usual, managing the bar, making beer pong tables, sorting out people computers, working on websites, organizing visa runs ..and that's just the icing on the cake :-D

Beer Pong Tables in the making

Giant centipede

To the right is a picture of a giant centipede These centipedes have a fearsome reputation in Thailand.  It is said that a bite from this monster centipede is excruciatingly painful, even more so than a snake bite and the pain can last for up to 4-5 days.  Unfortunately Simon was bitten by a medium sized one that was hiding in his towel the other morning and I would say from Simon's reaction, it's true.

Beach Clean Up with a couple of the DMT's

Heading out for a fish net removal

A fishing net had been dropped at 'Shark Island and I went out with New Heaven Dive School to remove as much as we could.  The net is at 10m, 5mtrs wide and seems to go on forever  ...our first task was to check the for fish, stingray, crabs etc  and set them free and thento  take up as much of the net as possible without damaging the coral.

This net is so fine and fiddly that it's going to take a few more dives to get all of it off the reef.

Baby Turtle afternoon with DMT's

Yet again another successful afternoon with the DiveMaster Trainee's A turtle lecture, followed by measuring and feeding of the baby Hawksbill turtles.
