Anika – Open Water Scuba Instructor(OWSI) & Master Scuba Diver Trainer(MSDT)

By djl team, 3 November, 2010, No Comment

I recently did my Instructor Development Course (IDC) & Master Scuba Diver Trainer (MSDT) courses with Pete, the Course Director here at Davy Jones Locker (DJL) Diving and it was a really great experience. It was a number of years since I completed my Divemaster qualification and so I was in need of a bit of a refresher in Pete I could not have asked for a better instructor.

Pete is patient and knowledgeable and really encouraging. Prepairing for the IDC can be a little intense and Pete was great at being reassuring and thorough. He has a brilliant sense of humor and so much experience. It was a fantastic course and I ended up doing really well on my Instructor Exam (IE), which I credit Pete for preparing me so well for. I am now enjoying teaching here in Koh Tao and have Pete to thank for his time and generosity.

Tom’s the latest Instructor

By djl team, 10 August, 2010, No Comment

After completing my Divemaster Internship with Davy Jones Locker in the summer  of 2009, I returned home to the UK for University. This summer I decided to return to Thailand to become a PADI Dive Instructor with DJL.

I had great fun on my Instructor Development Course, Pete was a great instructor and I’d like to thank him for helping me pass my Instructor Exam.

I would strongly recommend doing your Divemaster and Instructor courses at Davy Jones Locker. All the instructors there are very friendly and will do their upmost to ensure you have a great time diving in Koh Tao!

“Neil was Super”

By djl team, 10 August, 2010, No Comment

Neil was Super, a brilliant instructor and a sound fella! He really helped Mike overcome his initial fear of diving, as did Tim. He also helped me alot with mask skills.

We had a great time on Koh Tao, stayed way longer than expected, completely down to the excellent staff at Davy Jones Locker.

Thank you so much,

Marie & Mike from Ireland.
