Absolutely shattered!
Working on cargo nets is hard !!
For the last couple of days I have been making cargo nets... It was a learning experience, since none of us had made a cargo net before.. But eventually we figured it out.
So 2 days in and 2 cargo nets.. 1 is 11m x 5m, and the smaller one is 6m x 5m... Today I am in the middle of the jungle marking up tracks and getting eaten alive by mosquitos... and I am sure I will come home and collapse in a heap again!!
I am trying to remember my last dive.... it was a while ago!! And here is the video to prove it!

Not much to say really... I've been extremely busy with helping out on a new project that I'll be showing you over the next couple of weeks. Checking out new offices for it as well... And we will be moving in on the 1st of December.!!
The weather is pretty yucky... Lots of wind and rain... I bet Jenny is glad she finished her course yesterday and can chill out and stay dry today.
In the meantime, here are a couple of shots from our scouting mission last week..

Jen has been doing Discover Scuba Dives during the last couple of days, while I continue to work on UK work and some new projects here on Koh Tao.
Also, I have been helping Nathan put some old gym equipment at Junkyard, however...whilst doing that I managed to dislocate my shoulder. No big deal.... its an old bike injury and easily went back in, but was sore for a bit...
That evening, while experimenting with night photos, my back decided to seize up and for the past 2 days I have been resting it... Pretty sore but hopefully its getting better. Until then, I guess I can catch up with the multitude of stuff on my "To Do" list!
Here is a photo that I took before my back froze...it was almost pitch black when I took it, but with a 30sec shutter speed it managed to bring out quite a nice effect.

Hi All,
Another break, due to a 6 week old hard drive failing in my laptop.. I have had to send the part to Taiwan for repair and temporarily "bandage" the computer to get it working until they decide to send me a new hard drive..
So, in the last week and a half. 5 days were taken up with just sitting indoors working to fix the laptop.. Yawn!!
The other few days, we got our Eco hats on, and have been doing coral nursery workshops, and reef check surveys etc.
I have also been driving Jen to parts of the island she has never seen before.. She remarked that it seemed like we were not even on the same island.. and will have to take the camera next time we go..
Today, we have access to a gym which has moved location. The owner is donating some of his old equipment to us. Which mean Junkyard dive site will have some more workout stuff !! I went to look at it briefly yesterday, and the stuff looked like it'll be very useful.
We shall see!!

Firstly and most importantly
Have an awesome day with whatever you do! Wish we could be there to celebrate :-D
Life has been busy, I've been teaching Open Water, Advanced and now in the middle of a Deep Speciality. Crystal itself has been pretty quiet so, to have constant work has been great. I've actually made more money than Simon this week :-D
I'm supposed to be in the office right now but all the check-ins have been dealt with and instead of being eaten alive by mozzies, I'm sat down by the beach typing away.
Just ear wigging, some people are already talking about Christmas ..Im not looking forward to it that much, being away from everyone ..I hope Santa knows where to find me :-( ..but I suppose it's good to try something different.
Customers call ...argh!!!
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TOM!!!!
