As our rib captain he plans to increase the services offered on the rib byoffering snorkeling tours, water skiing & wake boarding.
For all those of you looking for some excitment, or thrillseeker rib trips. We welcome you to the team Dave.

This morning, divers from DJL Diving Koh Tao got to dive with a 5 metre long whale shark at the Chumphon Pinnacles.
On the boat to enjoy the experience was Christy, making the final two dives of her PADI Open Water course with DJL Instructor Alex. Also diving was Luke, with a group of certified divers.
Let’s hope the whale shark sticks around for a few days!
