I wanna be a Scuba diver!

Reet. We did Kanchanburi - Death railway, bridge over the Kwai also saw some outstanding waterfalls (Erwan Waterfalls), placed number six in the world top ten. It had pools we could swim in, rocks to slide down and fish that enjoy the delicacy of your dead skin.

Fast forward to Sunday, we arrived in Chumpon to get the ferry to Koh Tao the next day. Then on Monday got said ferry to Koh Tao.

Since being here I have learnt how to dive through the Open Water course. I am now a certified diver. I have enrolled on the advanced course already!! This will give me more skills underwater and will involve a deeper diver, (30m), so far I have only breached 14m. After that it's the EFR and Rescue Course and then Divemaster training. Once I have my dive master I can organise and take certified divers to dive sites - start working and earning. Divemastering is everything from planning the dive, to organising the boats, equipment and instructors. After a few years of Divemastering I can then decide to become an instructor. But that's a long way yet. If I can twist Hannah's arm I maybe "allowed' to go as far as EFR and Rescue, because after that I can complete my divemaster and start working. I've got a date with Australia first and I'm currently working away at Hannah to get her diving so she can come and experience the wonder of Davey Jones' Locker too.
