Koh Phangan is a super quiet island, which is normal for May. Hot, sunny weather, great vis at Sail Rock yesterday & a whaleshark spotted the day before; shame we can’t change the tourist seasons! Anyway it’s a great chance for the diving school team to unwind a little &, guess what?…go Scuba diving. We’re exploring local dive sites on a daily basis, & Samran Pinnacles on Monday/Tuesday is the next special chance for us to get out with the cameras.

After the farewell party for Heinz & Angie the social scene around the dive centre has been somewhat muted, although we can of course still manage a few evening beers from Mr Tung’s across the road. The instructional team are also getting a short break from any Padi Courses, as Divemaster trainee Mr Dave is out of the water with a healing Koh Phangan (motorcycle generated) tattoo! & as it’s quiet there’s a chance that Nick & Stefan might be off to Chumphon for a couple of days of exploratory scuba dives, more to follow…

Please check out our u/w pics in the Marine Life Guide & give us some feedback. We’re working on filling out the text & refining the photos. Your observations are most welcome.
