Last year summer, I was on Koh Tao in Thailand to help Frank and Veran from CoralGardening constructing 2 giant steel hands, which would eventually be placed on the seabed of Hin Wong Bay in the CoralGarden.

This year in July I went back to finish the project.
Constructing the giant steel hands wasn’t always easy. Working with very limited resources, in temperatures well above 30 degrees and mother nature who made welding impossible with heavy rain.

But when we, with the help of many people, finally had the hands in place on the bottom and during my safety stop with Frank back to the surface, I looking down to see those giant hands standing in the CoralGarden, the reward couldn’t be any greater!
