Have been diving in Beijing Aquarium with dolphins. That was really fun. As usual the diving was organized by Sinoscuba (Steven Schwankert).
The dolphins know exactly your limits and if they don't want to be touched forget trying. The sounds they make are weird but it is nice to listen too. We dived in the show-pool (the big one) where the dolphins could run away from us but they seemed to enjoy teasing us and stayed around us all the time.
Enjoyed every minute of it although the water temperature is 20 degree centigrade.
Underwater photos have been taken by James Michael Joyce. He was able to try out his new underwater-camera before a big diving trip to Indonesia. Thanks Mike for the photos.

It was Chinese New Year and peak season for traveling around South East Asia. We were lucky to get ourselves last minute trip online via Priceline Singapore.
We flew with Bangkok Airways from Changi Airport. Arrived Ko Samui late evening and were picked-up by the hotel transfer. Checked in at Samui Cliff View Resort & Spa Hotel, which located at the southern part of Chaweng Beach. The room was spacious and as the hotel’s name has suggested, with nice cliff view.
We have been in Koh Samui a couple of days in January 2009 and wanted to go diving. Generally the diving at Koh Tao is considered better so we went there by boat with Easy-Divers.
On the first day (the 30th January 2000) Cynthia and me dived the Sail Rock. 2 dives around the rock which looks like a sail. Visibility was depending on the location between 5-20m and we did not have to go deeper than 19m. We saw a lot of fish like Angelfish, Barracuda, Parrotfish, Grouper, etc.
