The Russian Mafia Doesn't Respect Sea Turtles 4/3/11

Today we did 3 dives before we left early afternoon. The morning dive was nice way to wake up. While we ate breakfast the Russian Mafia decided to go swimming with the sea turtle. At first they fed the turtle bananas from the boat which apparently happens often and is OK by the dive crew. Then they decided to jump in and catch a ride with the poor animal. One of the DM's started yelling at them telling them to stop touching the animal. They did for a bit but started riding it again. This pissed off the DM chick so bad she was yelling telling them to get out of the water. Of course they knew they what they were doing. Clinton asked of the Russian girls to tell them to stop. She just shook her head and then turned away and said nothing. Unfuckingbelievable. They finally got out but not because anyone told them to. I was hoping the turtle would bite the shit out of him. The dives were fun, but my back kept cramping while I was diving which caused me so much pain I was ready to be done.

We got back to the dock sans my backpack (did I mention I got a free T-shirt because of it? wow) and the van took us back to Patong. We only went there because we have an early flight to Bangkok. We found a hotel for 800 Bhat and took a wonderful shower (although I had to get back into the same dirty clothes) before heading out to dinner. For dinner went went to a small street where I had more delicious Thai food. We were tired but happy to be on land. We did a quick walk around to see the dirty men with their Thai girls, dirty boys with their Thai girls, and dirty boys with their Thai boys. Good times were had by some that night.
