Since Davy Jones Locker introduced its high speed rhib to Koh Tao more and more dive schools have followed our example and made an addition to their fleets, giving the more experienced divers the opportunity to enjoy all the benefits of small groups and diving in areas a little bit less accessible. It also gives us the ability to teach the Diving Coxen qualification, recognised by the Maritime Coastal Agency, the European Governing Body, and is accepted world wide.

While talking to one of our friends over a beer (Tim at Good Time Adventures) he mentioned he had circumnavagited Koh Tao in 19 minutes; we reckoned we could do it faster and in the sprit of friendly competition the gaunlet was thrown down. That afternoon I set out to have a rekki with a 0 .5 mtr sea state blowing into the east coast, we knew the record wasn’t on but we still managed to get around in a respectable 24 minutes. We reckon if we reduce the weight by removing the 5 passengers, and by getting the right amount of fuel on board and with a flat sea state we will get around in 15 minutes; watch this space…
