It's hard to believe that it's been MONTHS since I've logged on to DA!

December, January, February and March were all ultra busy months for me. High season here, then a trip to NYC in late March on business and also to attend the BTS show at Meadowlands. Met some old friends there and made some new ones! New York was cold, though, and I was glad to get back to the tropics.

As soon as I returned I headed down to Krabi provice to spend the long Songkran Festival "weekend". Songkran is Thai New Year, and the weekend is FIVE days! So guess what I did with my time????

Went diving, of course!

I spent most of my dives at a seamount called Hin Daeng. The name means "red rock" in Thai, and got the label because of the proliferation of red and pink soft coral that used to cover the granite seamount. Sadly the coral suffered a die off because of a cold water upwelling about 18 months ago, so it's not quite as pretty as it once was, but is still a great dive site.

I saw mantas!

The end of April has also been quite busy for me, surprisingly as it's already low season here. I've got one more diver arriving today for four days of diving with me, and then I'm off to North America, AGAIN!

This time I'm on my way to Bonaire for a week of teaching for a dive club taking a bunch of people down from the US and Canada. It's nice since I've never dived there before, so I get to mix business with pleasure!

Anyway, I just wanted to link in again and say hello to everybody!
