Day 35 - Koh Tao - 9th March 2010

I didnt get up till 11am.  Si as usual was already up working.  This lady of leisure is great but I do feel guilty as I can't help.

Anyway, we were on the afternoon boat and our first dive was at the 'Lighthouse'  Neither of us had dove this before so didn't know quite what to expect.

One of the videographers Jace, was taking one of his students down so decided to tag along to see what's involved with the videographer course.   Jace gave tips on buoyancy, fin pivots and handling of the actual camera then let the student loose  ..only interferring when needed.  We could both tell that the student was more than over enthusiastic as he darted all over the place.  You could tell that he needed to work on his buoyancy but nevertheless, he was filming lots and doing pretty well.

The visibility today was lovely.   We spotted a few blue spotted stingray, puffa fish and huge schools of baitballs (random small fish)  There was loads of brain, fan and tubular coral everywhere with a diverse  amount of colour.  I really liked this dive site.

Our second dive was at 'White Rock'  and yet again vis was fabulous.  Again we tagged along with Jace trying to spot stuff for them to film.  We bumped into two puffa fish which seemed very aggressive with each other, another blue spotted ray and a huge school of baraccuaa mixed amongst huge baitballs (small random fish)  there were a few triggers about but they just carried on munching.   The last 15mins or so we were just at 8 meters just transfixed on the huge baitballs. 

Tonight we have rehearsals for The Rocky Horror Crystal Show   ..Ggrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaatttttttt!!!
