We got up this morning after a good nights sleep. We thought we had better make our first stop master divers. This is who we are going to learn to dive with while we're here on Ko Tao and while we have been emailing them they had said to pop in to do some paperwork when we got here. When we got there they were very welcoming and we got lots of paperwork filled in. We were given two textbooks and two question papers which would be our homework, the girl had said ...

We both woke up this morning with mighty hangovers, this was not the most sensible thing seen as we have a two hour ferry ride today!

We got changed ready to swim and had an hour or so in the pool. It was great because the pool is really nice here and was great at that time in the morning. We went back had showers and went for breakfast. Angus had said to us last night that they would drop us at our next place tomorrow at midday ish. This was great news. So we...
