Not the best start to our diving in paradise

Hi,
Well...... we planned to hop aboard a live-aboard for 3days and 2nights of diving around the Similian Islands. However, as we were leaving our bungalow to go to the dive centre, Becky stupidly, but accidently, trapped two of Luke's fingers in the door hinge. So instead of going to the dive centre, the hotel took us to the nearest health clinic to have them cleaned and dressed. Now his fingers must be water-free until the dressing is taken off (one was unbandaged this morning, hopefully the other will be tomorrow). Still not sure what's happening on the diving front though. We're pretty much hanging around and eating, we invested in four good books this morning! xxxxx Soooooo, a quick update on life. The fingers are bandage free but still have to be water-free for another day. We've sorted the diving and booked ourselves on to a live-board. Friday morning till Sunday evening, 10 dives in total and from what we've heard we've been extremely jammy and managed to get on the end of a nine day live-aboard which is doing all the best places in the last few days!!Koh bon, koh tachai and Richelieu Rock. At these places there is a decent chance of seeing manta rays and a slim chance of seeing Whale Sharks (it is the best time of year to see them)!Keep your fingers and toes crossed for us and we'll let you know how things went when we arrive back.
xxxxx PS there's about 30 more photos to come, but we're going for tea!! xxxx More thumbnails ...

well done you two for taking the time to load all these onto the site for us to oggle at. Glad you had no problems with the new memory card.
Think tonight i'll download them all and run them on the big tele whilst hannah, helen and I pretend to swim around the room. Sad I know!
love dad xxx

Hi, loved the diving pics (ooh! and the new dresses!). I'm sure Steve will tell you what some of the unnamed fish are...i think theres a lot of things he's not seen before there though!....but i do recognise the lion fish...scary! The boat looked great too. Happy Thai New Year on Sunday....even if it is hampering the travel plans! I'm sure it will be a great night. Have fun. Lots of love Mum xxx

Hi Becy, How are you doing?
Hope you are having a great time.
I wish I was there paddling in the sea it looks better then Scarborough's sea.But doesn't seem to be any rides or donkeys there.the ice-creams look delicious to eat right now.Why did you trap Luke's fingers in the door? I know it was an accident.
Did you do any April fools on Luke?
Daddy got me he said it had ... show all

Rain Watching (reply)

Sorry to here your rain watching rather than swimming with the fishes. Hopefully, you'll get that chance come Wednesday. Pictures are great. Looked back through them all the other day and they tell quite a story.

Hope you get diving soon! (reply)

That was a bit unfair, Bex, trapping Luke's fingers, we hope you showed some concern to him (and not because you couldn't go diving!) and you'll be diving soon.
As AC mentioned, a lot of your photos took me (UR)back to Bangkok with your Dad, AC and Grannie, wonderful memories. Was the traffic as bad as I remember?
Thanks for your email, Bea got through to the National Finals in Gloucester ... show all
