Goose and Maverick (me and Charlie) have split... He's staying in Koh Tao and im going back up to Bangkok for my flight on the 10th. Will be sad leaving the island, as it is one of the most beautiful places i have ever been to, but we had a few good last nights out. The next few days after the Full Moon party we met with Pete, Ben, Lynne and Erin a couple of times to just relax on the beach, have a few nights out and a few meals. We, unfortunately, ended ...

I am now a qualified 'Open Water Diver'! After the four day course Charlie, Chris, Di, Casper (from Holland) and i did we have all now done 4 dives (one to 14m) and passed all the theory. I can now dive to limit of 18m (60ft!) and in the next few days am actually planning to go on another dive, possibly to see sharks. Which scares the hell out of me... Charlie taking it one step further and doing another course to become an Advanced Diver but right now im...
