Divemaster Trainee Gone Native

On Wednesday I went for my first two dives here at the Perhentians. The first dive was a wreck dive, an old freighter they call the Sugar Wreck. It lies on it’s side at around 19 meters, so that the shallowest side of it is on about seven meters. When we arrived at the divesite,… Continue reading Divemaster Trainee Gone Native

Boat trip to The Beach

For those who were wondering;I still don’t have a tattoo. I came to the conclusion that I want to try it in Henna or something before I do the real thing, to find out whether it looks the way I want on me. šŸ™‚ On Sunday night we went to watch Farang kicking the shit… Continue reading Boat trip to The Beach

Beach bum

Since Tuesday I’ve mostly just been hanging around relaxing on the beaches, and watching Muai Thai and fireshows in the evenings.

June 16, Snorkeling in Shark Bay on Turtle Island

Koh Tao, the Turtle Island, is not a place you spend a lot of time if you don’t dive or snorkle… šŸ™‚ If you do, however, you can stay here forever. Helena and I have rented scooters here as well, and driven around the island. On Sunday we headed north towards Mango Bay, but turned… Continue reading June 16, Snorkeling in Shark Bay on Turtle Island

Shabbath Shalom in Koh Pha Ngan

On Tuesday Lucas left for Koh Tao, and Helena’s roommate left as well, so we’ve been sharing the room Lucas and I had in the Israeli guest house. We rented a motorbike on Tuesday afternoon, and headed out to find some waterfalls. The bike was crappy and the roads were worse, and the first gear… Continue reading Shabbath Shalom in Koh Pha Ngan
