I signed up for some fun dives this afternoon, so I hadn't to get up at 6:30am like Nadine and can explore the streets a little & of course write the blog.
Wonderful news from Germany, Christian bought an AC/DC ticket for me at Hockenheim ring in May. Fantastic - Thanks Christian.

17th Dec. - Arriving in Koh Tao & starting dive refresher course
Pick up 07:30am, waking up at the right time was no problem, because a stuff menber woke us up at 05:30am - probably she was at the wrong bungalow. There is one this Thai can not do - they can not excuse, even when they are obivously wrong. Almost the same story which the meal - no Thai ever asked if the meal was good. - Anyway, service and price level of Cocohut (Koh Phangan) does not fit together.
Koh Tao is as small island, approx. 75km north of Koh Phangan, which took the speed ferry about 1.5 hours (10:00am). We were collected and guided diretcly to the Crystal diving resort, 2 min from the pier to fill out some paiper work with 50 other students and check in a small bungalow.
Nadine's theory course started right away and I did my 2 hour refresher course with Amy the diving instructor and Michael from Canada: refreshing our theoretical skills in a test, to prepare the diving stuff, underwater signs, regulator exchange, mask off under water etc.
Nice talking to Micheal, whos girlfriend also started the open water course today, like Nadine. They have traveled Lao, Cambodia and Vietnam before coming to Thailand. We waited at the beach in some nice chairs for the girls and had some beer.
No dought, that we went out together at the nicer capital beach with some english girls.
