More detail about the liveaboard

Since I have some time, I figure I’ll write out what I’ve written in my little black book… here goes:
Started the trip at 8pm in the diveshop, drove up to Kuraburi where we got on the boat. I rode in the back of a minibus with Helen who is basically a British Valley Girl. I think that’s possible, but she does not. The other person was a Californian named John – he lives in Redondo, so it just became a small world!
I went diving with a computer from the shop for the first time. I dove with Ben (our Divemaster), Scotty (an Aussie) and Oliver (a Swiss-German). Justin (another Aussie) was the 4th person, but he had air issues, so they changed him to a different group. It was a good group. Saw lots of great stuff, LOTS.
The Divemasters on Board were fantastic – always helped with small tips here and there. It was super helpful. The Thai crew was awesome as well – just really fun and funny people. They were always there to help – no matter what was happening.
My ears got a little stressed, I think that three plus dives/day will do that to you. A couple of the DMs had some of the same problems – it’s the end of the season and the ears have a tendency to get more easily stressed.
Overall, I’d HIGHLY recommend Sea Dragon. All of it is fantastic. All of it. Here’s the link again: Sea Dragon Dive Centre.
