Koh Tao, Thailand

Hey everyone, I am still in Koh Tao and after 4 days of diving I am officially a certified diver. It is absolutely amazing. Being may be one of the most crazy and mind blowing experiences I have ever had. We did five different dives though the course and seen some pretty amazing things. I got to swim with a sea turtle that was about just over a meter long, seen a huge blue and yellow spotted sting ray, and hundreds of other fish. One of my favorites was a trigger fish that is a incredible teritorial fish that didnt like me it territory and decided it was going to make me leave. So he came after me and you just put your fins towards them and kick backwards while they bite your fins and shake there head around like a dog with a bone. Its halarious to watch them. The only bad thing about diving is now I wanna keep getting certifide to where I can work with it but it is quite expensive but oh well we will see what happens. Other than that I havent been up to too much in particular, lots of my dives were very early in the morn and made for early nights so it has been quite mellow, which is quite nice for a change. I think I am headed to Ko Samui either tommorro or the next day with the girls and a english guy that we welcomed into our travelling family so that will be fun. As for today we are renting motos and going to explore the islands a bit because I have been here for almost a week and only seen about 400 meters of beach and my guesthouse, thats so bad. Then tonight we are going to celebrate being done my course by going bowling I am excited about that. But I better go and get some food in me but I will write again when we are settled in Ko Samui
