ugh….
Well my laptop is dead…the back light in the monitor has been going for awhile now and it is finally just not working any more. On the plus side it did everything that I needed it to do while I was here and other than posting blogs I don’t really need it any more. So the blogs will probably be a bit more random from now on.
Back to what I have been up to. Yesterday I pretty much took the day off. I rode my bike around the island checking out some parts I had never been to before. Then in the afternoon I did end up going on a shore dive and practiced the stress tests that I need to do. Last night was steak night….so I had a wonderful steak for dinner.
This morning I got up and went on the morning dive. I did a deepish dive down to 30 meters at Chumphon. Then a second dive at red rock. Both we really nice dives. There were some huge groupers at Chumphon….by huge I mean like 4 to 5 feet long. We also saw some small tuna and the normal residence including Bat fish, Angel fish, and a school of little barracuda. At red rock my diving buddy Jana spotted a spanish dancer. I had never seen one before and they are really cool looking. It was small probably about 2 inches in diameter and they are very thin and float around on their skin that sort of looks like a ribbon. I found a video of one on youtube and posted it below. The one I saw looked a little different, but you can get the general idea from it.
