By sea-dog, 19 June, 2010, No Comment

At DJL DIVING we are always doing our bit to help preserve this beautiful island we call our home, so when we recived a special appreciation award for our help during DIVE FOR EARTH DAY 2010 we were very happy to recive it.
I would personally like to thank all the DMTS who gave up there free time to help out with the clean up at Hin Wong Bay, Everyone was keen and helped collect alot of rubbish that had washed up on the beach.
We will be holding more beach and underwater clean ups in the very near future so stay logged on to the blog or why not join our online forum page for all the latest djl news.

PADI Award

DJL receives recognition from PADI

The DJL Team celebrate Award from PADI

I’ve been working for Davy Jones’ Locker for the best part of two years now and in my time I’ve seen the school grow and progress, maintaining high standards and producing high quality divers at all levels from Open Water through to instructor and beyond.  That goal of producing quality is evident throughout the school for all the courses we teach whether it’s Tim teaching tech diving, Pete running IDC’s, Frankie with the boathandling courses, Luke looking after the eco side of things, and Alex and Simon producing PADI Divemasters who would be an asset to any dive school.  One thing I love about DJL is that we don’t strive to be the biggest dive school in the world, or even on Koh Tao,

PADI Course Director Peter presents Tim with PADI Award

All the hard work put in at the Dive School is paying off as PADI recognises our efforts

but we do strive to be the best.  Anyways the point of this blog was to congratulate my collegues for an award we recieved recently from PADI Asia Pacific.  The award was for an outstanding contribution to the diving industry.  Now as an employee of DJL I guess people think I have to say such good things about the place and I suppose that may be true. But if our hard work is getting noticed by the big dogs at PADI, then I guess we must be doing something right.

DJL DIVING PRESENTS OUR NEW BOAT.

By sea-dog, 30 May, 2010, No Comment

DJL Diving is proud to present our newest edition our growing fleet of boats. 
After many days searching around the ship yards of Chumpon city, Tim and Ali choose a boat that put a smile on all our faces. The new boat is much larger than our old 2nd boat and with the school growing a a great pace we are all happy for the extra room. Wih space for an impresive 96 tanks, the boat rivals any for space and comfort, She is alot more comfortable in bigger swells, so we can travel out to dive sites like chumpon pinnacle and southwest pinnacle when others cant. We have a great area for relaxing and topping up your tan during your surface intervals and we have refreshments and snacks on board for you to enjoy. All the staff at DJL agree that the new boat is a pleasure to work on.
The 2nd boat will be taken over by Ollie and Jules, they will be running snorkleing trips and Kho Tao’s only party boat so you can enjoy the sceanic beauty of the island while enjoying a cold beer or cocktail. Not to forget our fastest and most fun boat ‘the highspeed rhib’. We will be offering all trips to local dive site and special trips like sail rock and samran pinnacle on request, and also the popular BSAC course ‘boat handling and diver coxan’.

Peoples Republic of Koh Tao Open For Business!

By Ollie the Spaniard, 16 May, 2010, 1 Comment

Despite Bangkok being unsettled due to the current protests, Davy Jones Locker would like to confirm that we are still open for business on a very calm and placid Koh Tao.

If you are in any doubt whether or not to come and dive in Koh Tao at the moment, we can assure you that this beautiful island is in no way linked to any of the protests in the capital and you can expect a warm, no hassle welcome.

If you wish to avoid Bangkok you can still travel to Koh Tao by flying via Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong then on to Koh Samui, where you can take a short boat ride to Koh Tao. It is also possible to take an overland train from Kuala Lumpur to Surat Thani then a boat direct to Koh Tao.

If you have any queries or concerns on travelling to Koh Tao, please drop us a line at info@davyjoneslocker.asia

Thanks to Sam, Mark, Tansy, Sarah, Claire and the random lady who came to help us, for all the hard work they put in to make our island a beautiful place. All the information from clean up will be sent to project aware wich will the be added to there database, we found everything from plastic bottles, cups and shoes. All together we collected over 20 bags of rubbish.
