Till Kampot Part 2

23/2/11

Went to town to get some money and try to sort out a dive trip. Got a 8 dive trip out to the outer island, 2 dives on Ko Rung, then 3 dives (after a 3 hour trip getting up at 4am) at Ko Tang, then 3 dives at Ko Rung.

24/2/11

Had a relax day on the beach, Otress beach. Then organised leaving the bike etc, well on the island.

25/2/11

Early rise and 2 hour boat ride to Ko Rung, nice room, view wise, which I expected as the trip cost $300us. Straight into getting gear sorted and out for the first dive, back for a hour break then out for another dive, all boat entry.

26/2/11

Waken up late, was suppose to be 4 am but got away with 4.30am. 4 hour boat ride as a pump got water on it or something, was pretty ruff on the way out there. The best visibility I have had so far 15ish meter, but loads of small things to see. Saw my first Moray eel, very small one, smaller than my little finger. Getting better at my buoyancy and breathing.

27/2/11

Had a lot of fun on the first 2 dives, mainly playing with my breathing etc because the visibility was about 3-5 meters lol. Got lost from the group on the second dive but decided to reduce my weight for the last dive. Should have changed weight at the start, I had said I needed 8kg and they gave me 9kg without me knowing, dropped down to 7.5kg and man it was way easier.

28/2/11

Rode to Kampot in the morning, had breakfast and checked into a hostel, then rode over to Vietnam for a soda hahahhaa yes for a soda. My first visa run went well got a new Cambodian visa for $24US instead of $54 for an extension, does mean I have to stay in Cambodia for a while longer to make the expense worth it hehe.

1/3/11

Well I scratched the top of my foot before I did the 8 dives, so of course the scab hasn't scabbed as the fins rubbed on it the whole time. So I'm having a couple of not wearing shoes days which means sitting in hummocks and things like that.

2/3/11

Yes still doing the same thing today but also hanging around near the toilet as well as for my foot.

3/3/11

Well the foot is ok should be able to wear my sandals tomorrow, as I have a nice scab going. Still needed to stay near the toilet though hehe. For more graphic descriptions of these events please private message me, and I will go into far more detail of the pushing and the sounds.

Sorry not many photos but the internet is really slow here. I'm still having a ball though, meeting a lot more riders now.

  Enjoy your life. I am.
