We really enjoyed that course. At the beginning, I have to admit I was a little anxious about diving, but now we're having a lot of fun.

Thank you, Perrine and Alex.

Thanks to Les for such a great experience. None of us can wait for our next dive now. Thanks for everyones time and effort.

Catherine, Edd and Amy.

Well we qualified! But do you always have to staple a 1000 baht note to the answer sheet?

Learnt so much, we did Open Water course and Advanced before we came to DJL and did a Sports Diver course. Now we feel like scuba divers.

Les was great, brill instructor and made sure we knew our stuff! Tim was great on the 45 metre Unicorn, very professional, learnt loads.

Carl & Lianne

First time diver and loved it! I had a lot of fun here and the staff are great. Les and Brian are great instructors and very skilled. Next time we are going to see a whale shark!

Dave Bemmann, Canada.

A great dive experience - first time but amazed how easy it became after I' got used to staying alive! Les was v patient and professional throughout.

Thank you! Mark Walker, Staines UK

I had a great time and really appreciated the tuition from Les, he has the patience of a saint and gives a great sense of confidence with his obvious experience.

Tim made me feel welcome and along with Brian and the boat team felt part of the family.

I wish the enterprise well and will spread the word back in the UK.

Just one hour before we leave Koh Tao and it's best spot - Davy Jones Locker. . . It's hard to say goodbye.

We had a lovely time, the best courses (nitrox and deep) and some good / bad hangovers.

Thanks to all you guys, but where was the whale shark? Those six blacktips weren't nearly exciting enough! So next time wreck and search and recovery? Probably!

Thanks again, Hans & Fleur.

Thank you very much, great diving, great people, great time. Hopefully we'll come back some day, advanced divers . . . who knows?

Good luck, Sabine & Franck.

Thank you for making a non-water girl into a scuba diver. You are the coolest people to dive with.

Thanks again, Amy.

Cheers for everything Tim, have a great time, now lets get hammered.

Dave (DJL response: thanks Dave, very insightful).

Thanks a lot for everything. Went deeper and saw more than I ever expected to.

Cheers, Bobby.

Pleasure and priveledge to have recieved your lessons, life stories and dive instructions. So happy to have stumbled accross your shop. Your love for diving is infectious, thanks for spreading the love. You guys are a bunch of fun! Les is a fantastic teacher and instructor with great stories. and more experience than two lives of diving. Thanks for the memories.

Kara & Zac

After experiencing Big Dive Shop and their 'processing' factory style, it was a very welcome change to dive with Davy Jones' Locker. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Totally worth recommending to everyone.

Annelie, Canada.

Thank you so much for an excellent week of diving. We really appreciated the personal service, both in the welcome we recieved and the dive tuition.

All of you have been really great - both in the water when teaching and on dry land.

I guess the biggest praise is that we came to do a course each and ended up doing 4 courses and a day of fun diving. Thanks again - we'll be back to do the wreck.

Pete & Siobah

Thanks for all your help and support. We've had a fantastic time diving & in the classroom (helped by the comedy). Your vast knowledge has been invaluable to us. We hope to be back soon!!

Phillipa and Paul.

Thanks very much to a great teacher. Put a nervous student very much at ease and made it great fun. Top notch school of fun diving . P.S. Tim's tambourine man is dodgy!

Chris, chrisbee@hotmail.com

Well we were a little late in the morning but we had our two dives at Chumphon Pinnacle and it was great. Thanks to Tim and the crew, they organised everything in very short time. Well done! And one thing to say: Nicest dives on Koh Tao.;

Thanks again and have fun, Fabian.

Thanks a mil for a class day. Never dived wit tech divers before. It was an experience I enjoyed very much. Milo and yourself Tim were great. The captain was especially great for letting me drive the boat, which I'm obviously not very good at.

Thanks again buddies, I'll def be coming out wit ye again next time I come back to Koh Tao.

Meabh, Galway Ireland.

Want to dive BSAC in South East Asia? Go to Davy Jones' Locker and do some proper diving with proper instructors. Finished off my SD training and then did the Advanced Nitrox. Excellent instructors.

Cheers my dears, scrawl..

So different than rec diving . . . diving the Unicorn was a whole new experience. Tim was great as were the DMs - very informative. I would reccomend it to anyone. You even get a free nordic guy with every dive!

Thanks guys, Jasmin, Australia.

Excellent Nitrox course and fantastic diving the shipwrecks - learnt more in those two dives than in my previous 20.

Be back for the deep specialty - thanks again.

Will & Emma, March 2005.

Oh my Good Lord,

What to say!!? Well my English is not good enough to express how I feel about those two days. . . I'll give it a go anyways.

Awsome, wicked, amazing, smashing, super duper absolutely great. . . . that just knocked me hard! 48M Unicorn and Torpedo . . . those four dives are the reason why I never ever wanna work on Koh Tao and do Twins and Jap Gardens again. . . . how could you?

That's just the best! Not only the wrecks but also the way you guys treated us! So laid back and relaxing but still safe.

Thanks for everything. Love Vivi.

Thanks so much for such an amazing dive at the Torpedo. 48M and 10M vis, perfect. And so lovely to leave PADI behind. Learnt 10x more.

Kim 2005

The Unicorn was 'the dogs'. Great experience with a so-so instructor - maybe on day he'll be an IDCS! If I return I'll do the Torpedo

Colin Putley, PADI IDCS 633142.

Thanks for an A1 tec course. The expedition was a real adventure. Thanks again for your hospitality and salty sea tales.

SR 2005.

First time past 30M and know what they mean about narcosis now! Was an absoloutely fantastic dive, first one was weird as not used to it, but second one was the best dive ever!

Tim's the best guy to dive with.

Clare, UK

Down in the deep is where it's at!!! Recreational dives are great loved them, but tec diving is a challenge tha't very rewarding for the effort put in. The possibilities of new adventures everytime. Who knows when you may find a new treasure of the deep.

John Campbell jacampbell64@hotmail.com

Finally after 5 months of Japanese & Twins a really great dive at the Unicorn! Thanks for that you guys.

Patricia

Cheers for a great time!

Well what can I say Tim, for a guy who looks like a long haired surf bum you know your stuff mate!

I think now's the time to say sorry for weeing in your wetsuit not once, twice but seven times!

Take it easy, Monkey

Did Unicorn with Milo, bloody sweet.

Simon

I really enjoyed diving with you! The wreck was amazing! I'll definately be back for more! I hope your shop does really well and I'll see you next time I'm back on Koh Tao.
