We are currently on the small island of Koh Tao, a beautiful place boasting glorious beaches, calm crystal waters and a brilliant lifestyle. The island is located off the South East coast of mainland Thailand.
James and I came to Koh Tao at the recommendation of many people we met in Cambodia, each saying that it was the best place that they have been, and so far, I agree with them. This place is
spectacular. The sun shines throughout the day and the temperature is astounding, reaching the mid-thirties every day, without fail. On our fist evening, we were welcomed by the most amazing sunset, allowing us to relax into island life straight away.
We have been doing a four day PADI course, which allows us to become qualified scuba divers! So far, ours days have consisted of walking along the sandy beach in the morning, and catching a boat and scuba diving in the briny in the afternoon. Diving is relatively cheap here and it has to be one of the most beautiful places to dive in the world. Below is just a selection of the underwater life we have been rubbing fins with.

| Blue Spotted Ribbon Ray |

| Saddleback Anenomefish |
 |
| Six Banded Angelfish |
 |
| Longfin Bannerfish |
 |
| Wiebel's Butterflyfish |
 |
| Blue Ringed Angelfish |
 |
| Moray Eel |
So, as you can imagine, Koh Tao seems a million miles from home. We are both absolutely loving life on the island, and plan to stay for a few more days before moving along. Tomorrow, we are going to do a deeper dive, down to about 30m, which hopefully will enable us to see some more creatures.
