Heya everyone,

I am back in Ko Tao again after hitting the Full Moon party. I am doing my advanced diving course back at Buddha View over the next few days which should be really cool.

I have already done 2 dives today, one to 30 meters with a camera, took loads of underwater snaps that I will have to upload at some point. I have loads of photos that I need to get up on Facebook etc. The other dive I did today focussed on buoyancy skills which was all fun, hovering upside down etc, I have mastered the blowing of bubble rings under water too, bit of random info but looks ace.

I have another 3 dives tomorrow varying in different things from navigation tasks to night dives................can't wait. We have all fallen in love with Ko Tao, its just an amazingly chilled place, its great.

I am still with Hellana, Shamik and Dave which is really cool, we all get on really well. We travelled to the Full Moon party together and decided to come back to Ko Tao and do our advanced diving course together.

The Full Moon party was pretty crazy, as you can imagine there was lots of alcohol to be had and we had it. There seems to be a pattern emerging from this trip ay haha :) Anyway, imagine about 8,000 people on one beach, loads of music............ it was great, I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is thinking about it. I do however reckon that as a group we have had better nights out in Ko Tao, maybe that is because the reputation isn't as big and there aren't as many people; nevertheless they are both great places.

I stayed in a room with Shamik and Dave for the Full Moon party on Ko Phangan, they had already booked an amazing place on the beach that conveniently for me had a Pete sized day bed, so i crashed there. Hellana was staying at a place literally 2 seconds up the road so we were all back together again before long. We all rented motorbikes and went out exploring around our area which was slightly further away from Haad Rin where the Full Moon party actually took place, I am pretty greatful for that though as loads of peoples places got robbed nearer the party. The bikes were really fun, but I can see why so many people manage to hurt themselves.

Speaking of which, the night before the party Shamik managed to crash his bike at 2mph whilst doing a u turn in the road (gigantic spaz) :), it was pretty hilarious but a tad scary at the same time, loads of dogs grouped together to have a giggle at him too, they all just ran over and started barking and hollering it was crazy. Anywho Shamik was alright, we wizzed him off to the pharamacy where he recieved some top class treatment for his scrapes. You definitely wouldn't recieve treatment like that in a pharmacy back home.

After Shamiks incident, we went off to watch some authentic Thai boxing down some back streets, it was really good. They had fights ranging from youngsters which were probably early teens to middle aged. I tell you something, it is definitely not a cagey sport, there wasn't hardly any holding on or anything like in boxing, they just went full pelt at it virtually every fight. All of them bar 2 ended in a knock out, brutal, but it had to be seen whilst in Thailand.

I feel like my blogs are becoming less and less informative, I do apologise if this is the case, I promise that I will take the time to write an in depth one soon. I have re-read the last few and they are a little bit hickledy pickledy. I am currently sat with my crew in the internet cafe at the mo, and we are going to head into town for some dinner.

Speak soon x
