Hello!!! It's been ages since I last updated this blog, can't believe it is nearly the end of February already! Loads has happened and I probably won't remember most of it in the detail I would have liked but I will tell you the highlights :-) January wasn't the best month I have had since I left home, lots of ups and downs but all is back on track again now so all is good.

I've been mapping divesites, assisting instructors in the swimming pool and big blue sea and today have just been a victim for a Swedish guy doing his Rescue cours...

Hello again from Koh Lanta - I say again cos I just wrote a really long update and manged to hit a button and the entire screen vanished along with my blog entry. Hmmm slightly annoying but hey ho. I am so happy I don't know where to start :-) Koh Lanta is starting to get sunny now, the island is filling up with tourists, the dive boats are getting busier, the beaches have been cleaned and the waves are calmer and there is such a chilled atmosphere everywhere it...
