WhaleShark!!!!!!

This happened a couple of months ago, but its gotta be worth putting up!


There were a couple of whaleshark sightings around November - this one was at Chumpon Pinnacle. Banzai was the first boat on the divesite, so we had 2 dives with the whaleshark and just the three dive groups from Big Blue! - Ace!

We jumped in the water and it was swimming around the boat!!






Shot of the whaleshark chasing a divegroup's bubbles!!





More Whaleshark shots - the whole dive was a videographer's dream! - a wet one!! (Ha ha!)





Alexander's Open Water group well pleased! - It was their 3rd dive ever!!!!!!



Alex's advanced course - well happy!!





Finally, the ascent back up to Banzai; the trip back to the island; and Alexander lookin' smooth! (heh he!)

It's the Koh Tao Underwater World Festival 2007 and Big Blue is participating in the cleaning of our dive sites. Alex (with a little help from Kirsty), Scobby and Capt'n Dam are preparing the new mooring lines for Japanese Gardens. Look at those knots !

And now, check out Jim, Spaz and G implanting one of those brand new buoys at the dive site with help of the Royal Thai Navy.
