Davy Jones Locker is now offering the chance to rent the high speed rib for a morning or afternoon of fun dives. This will enable our customers to arrive to the dive sites faster, beating the crowds. DJL’s customers (max of 5 per trip) will be able to fun dive twice at the dive sites of their choice. For the price of only 8,000 baht which includes a boat driver, divemaster and all equipment this is an opportunity not to be missed and hope to speed you around the island soon guys!
Since our friends at Goodtime Adventures threw down the gauntlet and claimed to have circumnavigated koh tao in 19 minutes we stepped up to the challenge and set a new DJL record. With conditions near to perfect we set out to challenge the record in our high speed rib with just enough fuel to speed around the island as quick as possible. On the last attempt we set a time of 24 minutes but this time round with less passengers and fuel managed to circumnavigate in 21 minutes! Although still 2 minutes away from Goodtime Adventures time we feel this new DJL record is more than respectable and in the good spirit of competition would like to offer our speedy friends at Goodtime a swiss time keeping devise and digital camera to record their alleged 19 minute trip!
Every now and then a new project starts around Davy Jones’ Locker. As some of you might know, we not only have a very successful dive school, but we also have a very pleasant bar. The project is to change the look of the bar by informing travellers how to get around Thailand and also around Koh Tao. Bar Simon is leading the way by building a new section in the bar with a map of Thailand on the top of the table. Here travellers can sit and plan their next trip in Thailand while enjoying an ice cold beer. All the required information will also appear on this masterpiece. All the staff at DJL are awaiting the end product knowing full well the creative brilliance of the man the legend called Bar Simon.
A man on a mission. Bar Simon!
With Christmas been and gone for another year and new year fast approaching, everybody here at Davy Jones locker is looking forward to what 2010 is gonna bring. With lots of new plans for the shop next year, one of the main things we want to do is be the lead examples of eco-conservation on Koh Tao island. We are also expecting lots of fresh faced Dive Master Trainees, and new customers we can introduce to the wonderful world of scuba diving on our beautiful island of Koh Tao.
We will be planning lots of beach clean ups, reef monitoring and many other ways to preserve our home on Koh Tao. With the sea being good to us and giving us lots of sharks at chumpon pinnacle and great viz at dive sites like twins and white rock, we hope the new year will be as good to us.
So stay tuned to the website for all the new info about the shop and our new Davy Jones Locker eco-projects and don’t forget to log into our new blog feature on the website to ask any of our staff here at the shop any questions about the local sites, dive courses or any other info you need about Koh Tao.
With Christmas time approaching itis very important to spend time with the people you love. Well maybe in this case “love” a little bit of a strong word. No offence guys. “The office” is a place where your motorbike goes automatically as soon as you start it. People come in an have a cup of coffee and a chat about the weather. HAHA! We do have some good conversations as well. It is nice to come in to work and be a part of a team that enjoys diving as much as you. Not only is diving about enjoying the fish ,but it is also about spending time with people with the same interests as you. Koh Tao internships is your way to really get to know the people here at Davey Jones’ Locker. Working as a diving professional is not a dream but a reality for me…
