Harry’s off to Vanuatu!

By Ollie the Spaniard, 30 March, 2010, 1 Comment

Ex Davy Jones Locker student Harry Smith is jetting off to the tropical islands of Vanuatu to continue his dive career as a PADI Dive Instructor.

Harry came to DJL early last year and undertook the Divemaster Internship program. From there he completed the Instructor course and Master Scuba Diver Trainer course. Only 2 weeks after completing these courses with DJL, Harry was offered a job through the PADI website.

Vanuatu is a chain of around 80 small volcanic islands located between Fiji and New Zealand, we are sure Harry will excel in his new dive career in paradise and wish him the best of luck!

Petu, Tori, Luke & Dan

On behalf of everyone here at Davy Jones Locker, I would like to say a big Congratulations to the latest 4 Divemasters to complete the 2-month internship programme. Well done to Tori, Luke, Petu and Dan on becoming the newest PADI professionals here on Koh Tao. To celebrate their achievements, DJL Pool Bar laid on an infamous ’snorkel test’ in the theme of Kiss. All the guys dressed to impress, took on various drinking challenges and even performed an air guitar style classic before taking on the final snorkel test. Well done again guys and thanks for choosing DJL, we all wish you every success in your future dive careers.

5 New Dive Coxswains!

By Ollie the Spaniard, 16 February, 2010, 1 Comment

Jules, Damien, Frankie, Nigel & Ross

A BIG Congratulations to Jules, Damien, Frankie, Nigel & Ross who have just completed their Power Boat Handling course with Davy Jones Locker.

The BSAC Boat Handling course (which is designed for divers) taught the guys chart work, position fixing and navigation over a one week period.

With all 5 students passing their final exam all finish with an internationally recognised boat handling qualification, which is authorised by both the Marine Coastguard Agencies (MCA) and Combined Diving Association (PADI, BSAC, SSA).

The celebrations went on well into the night at DJL’s pool bar where the 5 new skippers were welcomed in the traditional way of 3 shots of rum after they were presented with DJL dive coxswain caps.

Well done guys and good luck from all at Davy Jones Locker!

For more information on the boat handling course see http://www.davyjoneslocker.asia/en/component/content/article/158-internship/286-boat-handling.html
