well, i did extend the invitation to u right tks anyway for the lobang... but then, i would be scared to dive with u coz i dun want u finning behind me coz u are one diver that likes to "sit" behind another diver.. hahaha

i guess the tsunami had not affected the reefs much.. it is still breeming with marine life...

aiya, ghost not necessary 'suay' then can see one lah! haha... but then again, what do i know? never seen any before in my life and don't ever hope to see one...

yes, there's still lots of corals and marine life in phuket... and no signs of dead bodies nor smell of them... so go visit if you can... they can do with the tourist dollar... its really too quiet there, all the shopkeepers can spend all their time hitting houseflies (not that they can be bothered though! haha...)
