We said goodbye to our friends at Captain Nemo's and headed for the pier. Because we'd arrived from Laos by land we only had 15 days in Thailand which ran out today so we had to do a visa run to Burma! Starting with a boat trip to champong then a minibus to Ranong then another boat to Burma. Once in Burma we got picked up by a bus and taken to a hotel with duty free! I got a bottle of vodka for 280bahts!!! Bargain (under £6). I bought a bar of turkish delight da...

Same routine with the muesli at 6am then off to Master Divers for our third official dive. This time we went Japenese garden, Koh Nang Yuang. When we got there we had to do the last part to our tests. We had a camera man following us for the day too! We had to take our mask off fully under water, then put it back on and clear it... You get water in your mask whilst scuba-ing so we're used to it... Well when it came to me I was ready and rearing to go. I took some...
