Oceans Below Koh Tao starts the new year with lots of new projects! The BSAC Professional HD Underwater Video manual goes to print this month. We can't wait to see the final product of all our efforts. Aidy did the graphics, I wrote all the text and Darius edited the whole manual! The photos for the BSAC photo shoot that Aidy and I took will soon be featured on big banners across the country to help promote their services. And the official launch of the new BSAC video course will be in March (though we've been conducting these programs for some time now).
 
On the 31st I took Alvin and Simon out for the last dives of their Pro Video Internship. We went to film the Bull Sharks at Chumphon Pinnacle. Away from the site, we found no less than 15 massive Bull Sharks swimming around us! Chris 'The Boy' from Koh Tao Easy Divers joined us with a still camera and we all got great underwater footage and photos!

Alvin finished his showreel in the afternoon and left on the 1st to return to Sipadan where he works as a Divemaster. He's planning on investing in an Aquatica HD Wave underwater video housing and a camera soon so that he can film the magnificent marine life off of Borneo. Simon will stick around for a few more days to complete his DM course with Crystal Divers. We'll be sure to upload their work on youtube in the coming days for all to see!

On New Years Eve most of the Oceans Below staff and trainees gathered together at Vibe for drinks until midnight before spreading out on the beach. Everyone had a great night and made resolutions to never drink again!
