WHY NOT CHOOSE THE GREEN OPTION.

By sea-dog, 18 February, 2010, No Comment

When selecting your dives for the PADI ADVANCED OPEN WATER course why not choose the green eco friendly option. Here at DJL we are a proud memeber of project aware go eco group and we encourge all divers to do there bit in helping preserve our island. For the ADVANCED OPENWATER COURSE you have to do a deep dive and a navigation dive. When doing the deep dive we normaly go to chumpon pinnacle if the conditions are right, were you will get to see the sharks Kho Tao has to offer, all shark sightings will be added to the project aware shark trust data base. For the navigation dive we will teach you compass skills and how to use the natural enviroment for navigation, so no more getting lost in the sand.
Then you have 3 more dives to choose, The eco friendly choice would be peak perfomance buoyancy, helping you fine tune you buoyancy and giving you better control in the water, so no more excuses or that fin hitting the coral. Then the final two dive could be fish identifaction and underwater naturalist diver, you will learn about the local fish, coral and eco-system around Kho Tao island. The more knowledge we have about the local enviroment the better we can protect it for the divers of the fututre.

Lets all do our bit to keep this island beautiful.

Luke Certifies 2 New PADI Open Water Divers

By sea-dog, 25 January, 2010, No Comment

After completing the theory and pool work, I knew that this was going to be an easy PADI Open Water Course. Anthony and Joanne, both from England took to diving like a fish to the sea. The guys excelled in the pool, completing all the skills with ease and when it was time to do our first two Open Water dives I knew we wouldn’t have any problems. The First dive was at Twin Rocks and the conditions weren’t perfect but that didn’t stop both students doing an excellent job, we saw moral eels, nudibranch and lots more cool fish that call this dive site, the second dive at Sairee Reef were we had to complete 2 mask skills and a few others which the guys made look easy. The final 2 dive and an early 7 am start. With one of the shops videographers in tow we made our third dive of the course on the popular Koh Tao dive site of White Rock. Descending down to 18 meters for the first time, we saw a cool blue spotted stingray and lots of angel fish. Dive four we decided to go to twins again and this time the conditions were much better, with good vis we did our first free decent, a few more skills and a great dive.
So after lots of great diving, waving to the camera and a very easy course to teach, I am very happy to give Anthony and Joanne the their PADI Open Water cards. Well done guys and I can’t wait to teach more great Open Water Courses in 2010.
