Team Mclou: Sharks, guns and motorbikes...

So we made it to Koh Tao in one piece from Koh Phanghan on the ferry of death as Laura called it. In fact this time it wa a very sedentary crossing and we're both glad we made the trip as we had an amazing time diving in Koh Tao.

Laura did her PADI open water and I took my advanced PADI qualification. Had a great time on the island... met some awesome people from all over the world. Laura buddied up with Diana, an Aussie, for her diving lessons and they even managed to develop their own underwater sign language in 3 days. Her group were a great laugh and we spent evenings chilling with them and other new friends at the sea front bars. It was much like the first week skiing with ski school atmosphere.

I managed to dive with a 2 metre Bull shark on my 30m deap dive which was amazing. Did a night dive which reminded me of the visibility diving in the UK.

We're now on Koh Samui where we have hooked up with some of the people we met while diving. We drove round some of the island yesterday on Mopeds and found a shooting range where got to further extend our repertoire of JAmes Bond skills learning to shoot a machine gun!!! Crazy place!!

I broke my Karaoke duck last night and banged out a Stereophonics number (Dakota) at a very drunken Karaoki night with my new pal Chris. What a duet.....while Laura and Rachel had to have the microphone forcibly removed from there grasp.....they were on fire!!!??!! Kind of!!??!!
