Stoli’s Woof and Weather

So, I had a great idea.  Since Discovery is selling off all of their equipment and buying new ones, I have decided to do the same with my toys.  If there is any dogs or humans for that matter who are interested in some used toys, please get in contact with me.

Here is what I have to offer:

2 half eaten bones     40 baht each

tennis ball                   25 baht

squeaky chicken with head missing (no guarantee of squeaking)      75 baht

red furry toy                80 baht

If you want any of them autographed by me it is an extra 200 baht per piece.  I also will offer the whole lot with an autographed picture of myself for 3500 baht

OK, on to what’s happening here at Discovery Divers.  We have been really busy this week and had a great day with a full boat to Koh Tao today.  We had a bunch of fun divers, PADI open water courses, PADI advanced courses and discover scuba divers and everyone had a great time.   And we had Arnould in the pool doing a rescue diver course with Jason.  You can check out a bunch of the pictures today form the facebook link on our website.

Tomorrow we have 3 boat going out to Koh Tao and Sail Rock, so should be an awesome day.

As far as the weather goes, the forecast is for the waves to come down and looks pretty calm with a slight chance of thunderstorms daily and highs about 33-34.  Great diving weather.

Wow!!  Another busy and exciting week for me!  Check out the picture of the whale shark I took today at Sail Rock.  Me and the gang at Discovery have still been real busy even in low season.   Not only are we busy with lots of divers and courses, but we are also getting geared up for high season, which is only a month or so away.  I have been busy on the boat making sure everyone’s ok, and then back in the shop.  We currently are in the process of our annual replacing of our equipment.  we have sold almost all of our equipment that is a year old or more to other dive shops here and have a big new shipment of equipment coming in next week, just in time for high season.

So, today was a big day as we were the first boat at Sail Rock as usual and it really paid off today with great conditions and a whale shark to boot.  check out all of our pictures from the day as well as other days on facebook.  You can follow the link for our website and then click on the facebook icon and see what we’ve been up to.

Tomorrow we got another full boat going to Chumphon Pinnacle and Koh Tao with some fun divers and many people trying diving for the first time.  We also have Arnould teaching an Emergency First Responder course and Joe starting open water courses tomorrow.  That’s awesome as the more people we have around the shop, the more food I can beg.  Gonna be a good day for me.

The rain has been holding off lately, but we’ve had a little bit of wind and some waves, but not too bad.  The temps have been a high of about 34 which is pretty normal this time of year.  Looks like we have more of the same for the next week with hot temps and a slight chance of rain.

Check out the pictures of me on the boat and with some chicks.

Off to bed and get ready for another busy day tomorrow.

Wow, 2 blogs in one week.  I’m getting back in the swing of things.  Today was my spa day.  I posted a picture and look how handsome I am.  As they say in Thailand, law mak mak.  Maybe I should quit my dive instructor job and go back to my old job of dog supermodel.  I’ll get all the bitches then (remember, I can say bitches).  Nah, I think I like diving too much.

Well, it has been another great week here at Discovery.  We have been putting a ton of pictures of the diving and boat on our Facebook page so you should all check it out and see what you are missing.  You can get to it by following the link for our webpage at the right and clicking on the Facebook icon at the bottom of the page.

Yesterday was Claudio’s last day for a month as he is off to Italy to spend some time there and he will be back and refreshed for high season at the end of June

The diving and weather have been fantastic.  Congratulations to our new open water divers Col, Leonie, and Michael who all completed their PADI open water courses on Wednesday, and we have a new crop of divers taking their course now with Nicola.

Tomorrow we are off to Sail Rock where two whale sharks were spotted on Wednesday.  I sure hope they are still there tomorrow.  Maybe I can get my picture taken with one.  we are almost full and Arnould, Nick and Tao will be heading out there in the morning.

The weather couldn’t be better with light winds and almost no rain in the forecast for the next week or so.  So get your butts our here and go diving with us.

Well folks, sorry it has been so long since I have blogged, but I have been working so hard that today I started my blog and actually fell asleep at my computer.  Now, I’m up and will try to be more regular and let you know what is going on here at Discovery and Koh Samui.

Since the last time I wrote, we have been crazy busy.  Low season my ass!   I have been working my tail off in the office and on the boat.  We haven’t had as many dog customers lately, but we’ve had a ton of human divers.  The weather has been great and the conditions have been great lately so everyone is chomping at the bone to come diving with me and Discovery Divers.

We have been doing a lot of PADI courses lately and congratulations yesterday to Alexandria in finishing her open water course with Thao.  Tomorrow we have a full boat going to Sail Rock and have fun divers and courses going on.

Also, I am so excited that my buddy Nicola is back from Germany and joining us full-time as an instructor.  I can’t wait to go diving with her.  She’ll be on the boat tomorrow getting her paws (woops, feet), wet again at Sail Rock.

The weather has been fantastic lately and looks that way for the next week with very little wind and waves.

You can check out a bunch of pictures from our diving by visiting our facebook page.  The link is on our website which can be reached from the link on the right of the blog

Well, I am going to go back to sleep and get ready for another big day tomorrow.
