Life's a beach, then you dive...
After numerous mob threats to 'swim wiv de fishies' over the years someone finally put their plan into practice. In the early hours of the morning I was bundled into the back of a truck, then loaded onto a boat, driven into the middle of the sea off the island of Koh Tao, had lead strapped to my body and then unceremoniously thrown into the sea to await my fate.
Lady luck it appears, had yet to show her hand and what a hand it was. My tormentors in their haste had not noticed the scuba tank strapped to my back. Having foiled their plan I thought I'd have a bit of a butcher's around while I was down there. I've done my fair bit recently to eat as many fish as I can and they taste great but they're pretty little buggers too!! Green ones, yellow, silver, stripy ones, spotty, thin, fat, one's with nobs on, other's with whiskers; you name it, it's down there! Highlights were the Morray eel's, Clown fish, Reef Tip Shark (though I didn't realize I'd seen it until two days later...), Blue Spotted Stingray, Barracuda (taste the best too) and just the reef itself, teeming with life and school's of fish. I also made some new friends down there in Raema, Laura, John and Claude.
Needless to say my tormentors were shocked when I returned to the surface!! Three more times they proceeded to throw me from the boat, fortune again favoring me as they had erroneously changed my scuba tank. Each time I resurfaced (hence the ability to email) so in the end they gave up and just awarded me my PADI Open Water Diver certificate instead!

More types of fish than you can shake a fish at, you might say?
