“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.

5 new Divemasters on Koh Tao. Beau, Tom, Joe, Harry and Sarah arrived at Davy Jones Locker 2 months ago. All 5 signed up to for the Divemaster Internship which is the first step in the professional ladder. The guys studied hard, learning how to demonstrate skills and leading dives. Once the guys completed the course we celebrated with DJL famous snorkel test. Were the guys dressed up as cave men and participated in a lot of silly games and drinking! The DJL team would like to say a well done to the guys and good luck for the future.

Every month after the Full Moon Party on Koh Phangan, countless backpackers hit the next destination on the list, Koh Tao – most of them with the same mission in mind, learning how to dive! Koh Tao is one of the most popular places in the world to get your PADI Open Water Diver certification or even just the 1-day experience, Discover Scuba Diving, that seems to be spreading like a fever (conducting 13 of them here at DJL in just 2 days). The reason being our numerous shallow dive sites and all-year-round good conditions that makes the place perfect for beginners. And this month, hitting one of the peak seasons on the island, we’re expecting a massive pack of “Full Mooners”. Our 6 full time instructors are prepared, looking forward to introducing everyone to the amazing underwater world. Anticipating the “Full Moon Rush”! Aaaaany time now.
