It's been another busy month down on Bophut beach and the peak season for
diving around Koh Samui just keeps rolling!
The weather on Samui is hot, hot, hot and we haven't had any rain now for several months now. The sea has flattened out and the viz has improved everywhere so we're getting great visibility at most
dive sites now. Seems to be squid and puffer fish season right now too. We're getting a lot of sightings of squid around various Koh Tao dive sites, as well as Mappa Puffers, Porcupine Puffers and Seal faced Puffers. It's great to see a variety of marine life around us.
Last month, saw us offering many
private charters, including for Jeff Corwin and his Production & Film crews (see our blog page). A private boat trip is a great way to enjoy a day's diving and/or snorkelling with your friends and family, having
Midnight Blue to yourselves and being able to choose your itinerary for the day. Why not give it a try?
We reached over 300 great
Trip Advisor reviews this month, which is a fantastic achievement and a credit to all of our team who each play a role in giving our customers the best experience possible. And thank you all for taking the time out to write the reviews and to help the spread the word about The Dive Academy.
Ekin our current
Divemaster trainee is making good progress through his course and is almost ready to be signed off. He just needs to work out which way up to wear his compass and he might just be able to navigate his way around!
March also saw us say goodbye to Karl, one of our instructors who had been living on Samui for 10 years! Karl had decided that it was time to go back to the 'real' world and back to wearing pants & socks! Karl's sense of humour will be missed at The Dive Academy and we wish him all the best for the future. We have new team members joining us next month, so watch this space!
April is going to see another
IDC start at
The Dive Academy, so more to come on that too!
