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!

Whale Shark Spotted by Open Water Students!

By djl team, 8 August, 2010, No Comment

Yes that’s right, 4 PADI Open Water students, 2 Divemasters and 1 Instructor from Davy Jones Locker were lucky enough to swim alongside a 5 metre Whale Shark on the students’ second ever dive! The gentle giant was spotted during an afternoon dive at White Rock. What a great way for the 4 students to be introduced to the world of scuba diving, lets hope that the biggest fish in the sea stick around and provide this amazing experience for many more DJL divers!

Snorkel Koh Tao

By Ollie the Spaniard, 30 June, 2010, No Comment

Davy Jones Locker is proud to announce the launch of its snorkelling boat. For many years now Davy Jones Locker has been leading the way in the dive industry and so we thought it was about time to branch out and offer our customers even more. We intend to run daily snorkelling tours to some of the most spectacular sites around Koh Tao. These tours will be run from 10 to 3 daily by a PADI Dive Instructor and Divemaster to ensure they are educational, safe and fun! As we are proud members of the Project Aware group we will be promoting eco-friendly snorkelling and teaching how to interact with marine life responsibly. Fish identification training will also be on offer as our trained staff guide customers around the snorkel sites. We will be offering a free pick up service, top of the range equipment and delicious local cuisine served on board. So guys if you want to explore the underwater world of Koh Tao on a smaller budget drop into the dive shop and we’ll be happy to help!

UNDERWATER CLEAN UP

By sea-dog, 2 March, 2010, No Comment

We are very happy to announce that our first PROJECT AWARE UNDERWATER CLEAN UP was a huge success!

It was an early 7am start, but well worth it. Our first dive was at Koh Tao’s famous dive site Chumphon Pinnacle, where we were lucky enough to see a whaleshark. The gentle giant was around 5 meters long and we had a great 45 min dive with it passing us many times. The sighting will be added to the Project aware shark trust data base, which monitors shark and whaleshark numbers around the world.

We had 18 people for the secound clean-up dive and we would like to thank everyone for there help, I think a free shot in the bar tonight is well deserved. The clean-up was on sairee reef , close to the beach where all the boats moor up in the evening. We collected 5 large bags of debris ranging from electrical wire, cardboard boxes, a car tire, plastic sheeting and well over 100 plastic and glass bottles. So many thanks to everyone who was involved in doing there part in preserving our paradise island.

Here at DJL Dibing we are proud members of PROJECT AWARE and a GO-ECO operator, it’s our responsibility to do all we can to help the local enviroment. We will be holding monthly clean-up days and starting a new coral reef monitoring project in the coming weeks.

So please remember to do all you can to keep our oceans a beautiful place to dive for yourself and the divers of the future.
