Kho Tao is clearly a Mecca of sorts, if you are an American or European twenty-something that has a high, very high, affinity for tattoos, don't mind sludgy accommodation and mass market diving experiences.
In spite of this we have done well - a nice well priced "resort" close, but not too close, to the high street and our dive shop, with a quieter and slightly more classy brand of beach bar. And we are the only two on our (free) diving course, which combos up with a mad crowd of cliff jumpers / rock climbers . Our one dive instructor turns out to be one of the best in the world (just finished a 4-way freedive through the Dahab Blue Hole and tunnel! Breathhold record 8mins+). His partner is a very good teacher, so we landed right side up.
We both took some strain today on our first time out, T with sea sickness and I with equalisation. I got it partially right and made it to 14m on the last dive! For which I'm stoked :) tomorrow more of same, aiming for 20m...
