Pirates in the Gulf of Thailand
This morning saw the DJL dive boat taken hostage by a gang of Dive Master trainees dressed as pirates. Our terrified captain and two real life customers narrowly escaped walking the plank by agreeing to take them diving in Japanese Garden and White Rock so they could search for the long lost treasure of gold and silver pieces buried some 300years ago by an old fisherman, somewhere near the second rock on the left [south- southwest]. Due to the fantastic disguises we were unable to identify them so there’ll be no dancing the hempen jig just yet, though we did catch them on camera celebrating so if anyone recognizes them please get in touch!
