Koh Tao

Ah, the island life. The choices. Beach or hammock? Happy hour cocktail or beer? Risk the sandy path with the coconut that might fall, or go through the crystal clear water.

We're on Koh Tao, a little island famous for its marine life. The local dive center celebrated their birthday with a free reef clean up dive, which was great - visibility 35+ meters, which is unheard of, a wreck and several reefs to dive around, and 2 bits of paper to pick up. The snorkelling is excellent with manta rays, thousands of fish (angel fish, flat fish, swordfish, marlins, far more types than I can identify), and even sharks.

(Unfortunately, I don't have an underwater camera but this shark is very similar).
