Yesterday, I passed my first 3 exams. They were fairly easy, but it's still a good feeling. The next two exams, physics and physiology, should be a bit more difficult. But it can't all be fun I suppose. But i have to be honest. It hasn't been all work ... Read more >

I can't remember who said it, but it sums up the divers life on Phi Phi pretty acurately, "Every day is a Monday, every night is a friday." My average day starts when my alarm clock goes off at 6:30am. I usually snooze at least once, but ... Read more >

Well the fun is over and the work has begun. I've spent the last week and a half busy off my feet. I dive from about 7:30 to 3 (been seeing a lot of octopuses and leopard sharks lately!) and then working from 6-9:30 or sometimes 12. The diving is going ... Read more >

So i have been wandering around for the past 15 months, trying to figure out what Iam going to do with my life. I have been trying a lot of different things and hoping one of them sticks. I have been waiting for an opportunity that I can't refuse, one ... Read more >

Well things are looking up already (contract and expand!).Today was a truly lovely day - not just because I may be in love with my dive instructor. But it was one of those days where everything has gone well...let's hope i haven't just jinxed it. I ... Read more >

I realized tonight that I hate the world. That may seem dramatic, but it's true. Okay,I don't so much hate the world as the people in it. Especially those in Ao Ton Sai in Koh Phi Phi(not to be confused with Krabi's Ton Sai in which i adore not only ... Read more >

Well I survived the Full Moon Party, but just barely. I wish I would have gone somewhere else to see the Loy Krathong Festival (festival where they float lights down the rivers in little lotus leaves). I think that would have been more my style. But ... Read more >

Ugh ugh ugh...it has been a long day (and a half). My last night in Ton Sai was nice, a fireshow and a couple of beers on the beach. Then some relaxing in the sun and at 2:00, we caught a longboat to AoNang. The min-bus picked us up at 3:00 as promised.... Read more >

After the first 30 minutes of climbing up a 57 degree incline, you truly do think you are going to die. I kept thinking to myself there was no way that I can do 2.5 more hours of this, it has to level off soon. Sure enough, the land did level a bit and ... Read more >

I thought the name The Land of Smiles was just an exageration to bring in tourists, but today I realized that the name was spot on. I woke up with a bit of a hangover. I went out for dinner last night met an Englishman, dutch guy and two Austrian girls ... Read more >
