Surin 30.11.2009

Surin Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and Richelieu Rock

With only 3 customers some people could think, it´s gonna be 5 boring days...could be...but not with AIDC-customers. From the beginning we all had a lot to laugh about - sorry, can´t tell you the details :-) - and of course diving in such a private group can´t be bad.


We had different missions to fulfill:


- finding a leopard shark, to proove Gareth, that they exist --> done


- seeing a manta, to show Jamie how big they are --> ok, it was a baby, but it was doing loopings on the surface while we were snorkelling


- translating all fish names into German, that Marc could fill out his logbook --> lucky he had this book with him


- not ending up with 10kg weights on the belt, because chef was cooking more than ever --> some of us almost failed


- not stranding on a island, because the navigation system didn´t work--> simple, just don´t use it anymore


- not talking to Gareth before the first dive --> we got used to his grumpy face in the morning


- making sure, that Jamie is not falling over board --> well, he dislocated his shoulder but he is still with us


- finding a diplomatic way to tell our boss that we found HARLEQUIN SHRIMPS on Richelieu Rock --> there is no diplomatic way: WE FOUND THEM!!!!


- enjoying every moment, underwater and on the surface --> there is nothing more easier than this!


Thanks buddies, it was a great trip and excellent diving!!!!
