Very nice jungle scenery and morning mists though coming through the ( Read more... )

I finished my dive training in Koh Tao, seeing some very cool things underwater. The highlight of the dives I think has to be from the last one when we saw a moray eel under a big rock. It was however the hardest of the ( Read more... )
