Full Day Tripper

Finally! Someone brought back some photos from a full day trip!

These happen at least once a week - basically we comandeer one of the Big Blue boats - usually the biggest, pack a load of food and drink, and sail around the dive sites of Koh Tao for the whole day! They're always a good laugh, and because the boat's free to go where-ever we want, the divings great aswell!!

Some very dodgy looking characters!
