We have two more dives here in Ko Tao, our two wreck dives. One of them will be nitrox. Our instructor, Gemma, will be bringing a camera so we will have pictures of us diving a wreck! It seems silly that we’ve spent so many hours underwater and have no pictures to show for it.

We’re then catching a boat to Ko Phagnan on the 25th. The full moon party is the night of the 26th, we will dive Sail Rock on the 28th. We booked a flight (through Kuala Lampur) to Bali from Phuket (western side of southern Thailand) on Feb. 1st. . So between the 28th to 31st, we will choose between diving some more in Ko Phagnan, rock climbing near Krabi, or maybe even dive the Similans as a day dive. Or some combination of these options. We can’t dive on the 31st as we are flying on the 1st so I suspect we will rock climb or travel that day.

Met a wonderful couple yesterday, originally from Toronto, now living in Gold Coast. We all went out to dinner and mid-dinner they remembered it was their second anniversary! I’m glad we chose a nice Italian place, recommended by the scuba instructor from Milan.

Today we are going to finally walk around the island a bit, as we have no more afternoon class work. Meeting up with the SF burner for dinner.

I’m missing all of my friends back home! Hope they are all having a wonderful time. February is my favorite month in the Bay Area, I’m sad I’ll miss it. Well, only kinda sorta sad. 🙂
