October Highlights at The Dive Academy

Although this month has been fairly quiet on Koh Samui, The Dive Academy has been anything but!

We have had lots of people take their first exciting breaths under water this month with Discover Scuba Diving, a fair few PADI Courses including- Bubble Maker, Open Water courses, an EFR and Rescue course and plenty of happy Fun Divers and snorkelers exploring the magical underwater world around Koh Tao and Sail Rock.

The weather this month has been a little unsettled with some pretty impressive thunder storms! However the rain doesn’t last forever and the diving conditions have still been excellent with viz on average ranging from 10m-15m..… and lots to see! Some of what we spotted this month were Butterflyfish, Bannerfish, Giant grouper, Titan triggerfish, White eyed moray eels, Porcupinefish, Squirrelfish, Christmas tree worms, Blue spotted stingrays and Black tip reef sharks!

We met a lovely group recently on a team building event, River and May were certified divers but Quennie, Ted, Roy and Myolie tried diving for the first time! We started off in the swimming pool with a ‘Try Dive’ and they all loved it! So the following day they all ventured out on their team building exercise and completed their Discover Scuba Diving!! Well done guys!!

In other news:

Our new addition to The Dive Academy family, little‘Ginger Ninja’ has settled in well and loves her fancy new collar!

We almost had a new pet squirrel! We think he must have fallen from a tree and Stumpy the cat gently picked him up and bought him to me… luckily he wasn't hurt and after a bit of a cuddle I noticed his mum sat in the tree, I placed him onto the tree trunk and mum came down to collect him!!
