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 [...]
I wrote a whole blog post, and the computer at the internet kiosk I’m at shut down. So, here I go again!
I’m finally here, after a long delay in Narita. I was supposed to have gotten into BKK last night, at 1145pm, but instead, I’m here at 1pm today, Sunday. In Narita, the plane broke, [...]
I’ve posted all the pictures. Some of the descriptions are filled in, some are not… Go here.
Can I go back now? I will be (hopefully!) getting some underwater pictures from my dive buddies, so stay tuned!!
I asked my boss if he could get me a job at the Tesco Lotus in Phuket – he said [...]
I kind of pushed the limits today… I didn’t want to go to Krabi for a night and then go on to BKK on a plane. I decided that I might end up cutting it close with a minibus to Krabi… I asked the driver if he would drop me off at the airport and [...]
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 [...]
Apparently in the afternoon around monsoon season, it POURS here… like the heavens open up and PELT down… there is a giant lake in front of the shops where I’m doing internet… it’s insane. At least this time I wasn’t on a motorbike.
I’m now in Khao Lak, about to go onto the liveaboard. I got [...]
