I’m not sure I want to be back. Wait, I don’t want to be back.
Clarification: I like my life here, but I’m not sure HOW MUCH I like it here. I don’t hate my job (which I know is unusual), and I have a pretty good life. I just think that if I want to [...]

So, I got off one boat, the M/V Andaman, yesterday and go back on one today. It’s currently Sunday afternoon, at almost 5pm. I don’t have to be at the dive shop till 8pm, so I thought I’d update y’all, so you didn’t think I drowned.
I did NOT drown.
I loved every dive, saw some fantastic [...]
Many more to go! I am excited and pleased to tell you all that I am now a “Peak Buoyancy” proficient. Or something like that. I did two dives today, and had to do some skills, some of which made me laugh, which caused problems with my mask. Damnit. All because of laughter! But, it [...]
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 [...]
BOO! I just did the last dive of the trip. I really was not pleased with having to do that, but I had to do that. You are supposed to have 24 hours between the last dive and flying. At least. And now I’m there. I have to fly on Saturday back to Bangkok, and [...]
Apparently on the boat, we were one of the groups that was the easiest to get up each time. The DMs were not pleased with this. They wanted at least 10 minutes of “wakey-wakey” time without customers. We did not oblige. I was up 10 minutes before the wakeup shout came, as I needed to [...]
I didn’t see any whale sharks (they are the world’s largest fish…), but I saw some really, really great other things. I was out there underwater for three times a day, starting at 7am on Saturday morning… only two times today – and the last dive was a bit of a letdown… boo.
Overall, it was [...]
Today is Wednesday. The end of Wednesday for me. I’ve been diving, so far, 4 times. The coldest of the times was 29 degrees C. Insane!! The fish are GORGEOUS and I love it each and every time… I’ve had my own divemaster both times – for the refresh and the other.
Koh Lanta is utterly [...]
It’s HOT here… but, I like it, duh. It’s also very salty in the air – but that’s fine… I arrived here on Monday and went on two dives today – the water was 29 degrees C. You tell me what that is. But, it’s very nice. I did a refresher course for today, and [...]
