New DJL Rib Record!

By Ollie the Spaniard, 13 January, 2010, No Comment

Since our friends at Goodtime Adventures threw down the gauntlet and claimed to have circumnavigated koh tao in 19 minutes we stepped up to the challenge and set a new DJL record. With conditions near to perfect we set out to challenge the record in our high speed rib with just enough fuel to speed around the island as quick as possible. On the last attempt we set a time of 24 minutes but this time round with less passengers and fuel managed to circumnavigate in 21 minutes! Although still 2 minutes away from Goodtime Adventures time we feel this new DJL record is more than respectable and in the good spirit of competition would like to offer our speedy friends at Goodtime a swiss time keeping devise and digital camera to record their alleged 19 minute trip!

Pirates in the Gulf of Thailand!

By Ollie the Spaniard, 1 December, 2009, No Comment

pirates This morning saw the DJL dive boat taken hostage by a gang of Dive Master trainees dressed as pirates. Our terrified captain and two real life customers narrowly escaped walking the plank by agreeing to take them diving in Japanese Garden and White Rock so they could search for the long lost treasure of gold and silver pieces buried some 300years ago by an old fisherman, somewhere near the second rock on the left [south- southwest]. Due to the fantastic disguises we were unable to identify them so there’ll be no dancing the hempen jig just yet, though we did catch them on camera celebrating so if anyone recognizes them please get in touch!
