Day 125 - 9th June 2010

Early mornings are great but it's just the 'getting out of bed' that I hate :-)   06:00 the alarm went off and Si jumped out  ..sorry, should say, staggered out of bed and put the kettle on whilst I jumped in the shower.  After sipping out tea and packing our bags with the days essentials, we hopped on the bike and rode to Crystal to grab Si's dive bag and then popped to Deep Down to collect Si's camera.  Today, Simon's went out with Nathan to film some of the bleaching at 'Chumpon' one of Koh Tao's deepest dive sites.  It's good to have this documented and they may put together a short film for 'ECO Koh Tao'

I'm still not allowed back in the water for a few more days so stayed on the boat with Nathans son Kailash whilst everyone went diving.   It was nice to have the company, even though Kailash was feeling pretty sea sick and threw up several times.

With everyone back on the boat after a fabulous dive, we headed to 'White Rock' where the visibility was really poor, I think when everyone came up from that 2nd dive and moaned that they didn't see much at all.  I was sat on the boat and heard one of the girls shriek, looked over and beside her was a massive sea snake popping it's head out for air.  My first sea snake and I didnt even have to get wet.  How cool is that?

Back on dry land, Si headed up to Deep Down with his monsterous camera that weighs a ton whilst I quickly nipped back to Crystal to drop his dive bag off.
At Deep Down, Si was helping Nathan pull off some footage off his harddrive which didnt work very well, so then Si decided to take Nathans HD home to see what he could do. We spent the rest of the afternoon on the computers, sorting stuff out.
