Subject: Post: Snif. left the winter home island today to Koh Samui. Tomorrow morning we should take an early flight to Bangkok, spend a couple of days there and start our journey towards home on Tuesday evening.I'm almost missing the colder climate already, March and April are the hottest months here and it's getting rather warm. I think I lost liters of water in sweat today dragging the heavy bags to the ferry pier... That wish will probably change very soon in Finland though. :)Yesterday I did my last evaluation dives and completed the training to be a certified diving professional, an SSI Divemaster. That was a fun and educative course during the two months, learnt a lot about diving and guiding the dive groups.Maybe during the next winters I will put that certification to use, earning some extra cash (or well, just diving for free even if someone is all the time following, salary ain't that high.) on the island as a dive guide.At Koh Tao Divers it's a tradition to celebrate new dive masters by organizing a "snorkel test", a barbecue party with themed clothes, stupid games and general funny diving-related humiliation of the graduates, including drinking strange drinks via a snorkel.Due to the schedule reasons and me being the only graduate at the moment it had to be skipped and left to next winter, but the guys quickly corrected that by organizing an improvised "try snorkel" light version event for me. We actually had quite a lot of people and fun. Even dressing as a ladyboy didn't bother too much.. :) Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
