Todd: What is your hobby?

Matt: I suppose it is scuba diving.

Todd: Oh, nice! Well, tell us about scuba diving.

Matt: Well, I haven't been for awhile because I have been living in Japan, and it's expensive to do it here, but when I was in Thailand I went scuba diving quite a lot. I did the PADI certificate. I just love it. I did quite a bit of scuba diving both in the Gulf of Thailand and the Indian Ocean. And saw whale sharks, leopard sharks and all sorts of things.

Todd: How do they compare, the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Thailand?

Matt: Well, the Gulf of Thailand is quite polluted, and there is a lot of shipping that comes up from Singapore to Bangkok. Whereas the Indian Ocean, it's called the Andaman Sea but it's part of the Indian Ocean, it is a lot cleaner but it can be affected by monsoons.

Todd: Okay, great! Thanks, Matt.]]> all sorts of a bit quite a lot polluted affected by
