My 100th dive - tomorrow...

I have previously written about the traditions around the 100th dive. My 'problem' is now (after leading 4 customers on 2 dives today) that I have reached 99 dives..... And I have spent very close to 70 hours under water breathing air from a tank on my back.
With my 100th dive coming up, it is pretty bad that I forgot to sign up for the night dive today, where nudity is a bit more easy - unless all people point their torches towards me (and for those who did not yet read what you need to do on the 100th dive, well: Be naked :-)
So, I guess tomorrow some fish and not least quite a lot of divers may be a bit surprised - and the visibility these days under water is 'unfortunately' pretty good. I sure hope not to meet too many cleaner wrasses (small fish that loves wounds and small red things on your body)... Well, more about this later...
The two dives today, by the way, were really great. We saw a lot of things which are rarely seen around here; like Indian Walkman (a very poisonous fish that buries itself into the sand; a good reason not to kneel in sand link) and it was actually burying itself while we looked at it. We saw two Scorpion fish (again a very poisonous fish, link), we saw a number of porcupine fish (which - when threatened - can 'blow' themselves up; cute fellow, link). We also saw a freely swimming Morey eel (they usually hide in holes during day, see photo)
Finally, I am basically signed off from everything now, so just waiting for my 'challenge day'; which means leading the shop, a boat, a dive - and then afterward my 'dear' colleagues will come up with a lot of crazy games and stuff - to basically make me drunk :-). The snorkel test (picture link) used to be one of the favourite 'games', but it has been abandoned on the dive center after a fatality - happy for this being abandoned...
Greetings from another great day on Koh Tao, Thailand.
