Welcome to Sunshine Divers! It’s been an honour to teach diving to over two thousand travelers who were excited to explore the underwater world here on Koh Tao. As the manager and Course Director representing the best dive centre in Asia, I can now offer you my passion, enthusiasm, and experience set in a perfect tropical environment.

BASTIAAN VAN DER KUIJL
PADI Staff Instructor – Netherlands
Hi, my name is Bastiaan originally from Amsterdam but now living on this small Island in the Gulf of Thailand, Koh Tao.
I started my career in The Netherlands and since 2010 i've been teaching at Sunhine Divers. The best place because we have small groups and big FUN! If you come around I tell you al about the exciting stuff what is happening around diving Koh Tao, doing courses and try to make you just as enthousiastic as I am! See you soon :)
Hoi, mijn naam is Bastiaan en kom oorspronkelijk uit Amsterdam maar tegenwoordig leef ik in dit kleine paradijs op aarde, Koh Tao.
Mijn duikcarrière ben ik begonnen in Nederland en sinds 2010 ben ik instructeur bij Sunshine Divers. De beste plek voor mij want we werken hier met kleine groepjes waardoor het erg persoonlijk is en er dan ook veel ruimte is voor plezier en lol.
Als je langskomt dan kan ik je alles vertellen over hoe gaaf het is om op Koh Tao te duiken, je opleidingen te volgen en jezelf te verbeteren op het gebied van skills. Tot snel duikers!! |

PADI IDC Staff Intructor - France

Bonjour, je m’appelle Mathieu et je suis Instructeur Francophone de plongée à Sunshine Diver. J’ai 33 ans et je suis géographe de formation. J’ai commencé à plonger depuis un peu plus de 18 ans car j’étais fan des documentaires du Commandant Cousteau et rêvais de partir explorer les océans. Depuis le virus ne m’a pas quitté et il y a 3 ans je suis parti de France et suis venu sur Koh Tao pour y passer mes niveaux professionnels de plongée récréative et technique. Je suis tombé amoureux de ce petit coin de paradis et y suis resté pour vivre ma passion au quotidien. Si vous envisagez de plonger avec nous, c’est avec grand plaisir que je vous ferai découvrir les merveilles sous-marines du Golfe de Thaïlande. Si vous avez la moindre question, n’hésitez surtout pas à nous contacter, nous vous répondrons dans les plus brefs délais. |

LASSE WALQUIST
PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer and Tec Instructor - Sweden
Welcome to Sunshine Divers and more importantly to an experience that will be life altering!
Whether you choose to keep diving as a hobby or turning it into a profession, you are now taking your first steps towards a turning point in your life. For me, moving from Sweden meant the opportunity to share my passion and experience with other people.
From the moment I decided to make this transition from my lifestyle in Sweden to the tropics, I have never looked back. This is an emotion many people may have encountered and I hope you will experience this sometime too.
What we have to offer you as our guest at Sunshine Divers is an adventure, where only YOU can set the limits!
Välkommen till Sunshine Divers och välkommen till ett vägskäl i ditt liv. Vare sig du väljer att endast dyka som hobby eller att arbeta med dykning dagligen, tar du nu dina första steg mot en vändpunkt i ditt liv. För mig, betydde flytten från sverige chansen att få dela min passion och erfarenhet med andra människor. Detta är något jag aldrig har ångrat och det är något jag känner mig oerhört tacksam över. Det vi har att erbjuda dig som vår gäst på Koh Tao, är ett äventyr där bara du sätter gränserna. |

Hola, soy Sebastian
Cuando llegue por primera vez a Koh tao, pensaba quedarme tres dìas, pero finalmente estuve casi año y medio.
Ahora he vuelto para quedarme y poder hacer cada dia lo que mas me gusta: bucear.
Os invito a descubrir el mundo submarino con nosotros y abrir una gran puerta llena de nuevas posibilidades.
un saludo Sebastian. |
Eva Muñoz Torres

Hola soy Eva,
hace tres años no me podía imaginar que terminaría viviendo en una isla de Tailandia, y lo que es mejor convertir mi hobby en mi trabajo.
Hacer lo que amas te permite poner todas tus energías en ello y levantarte cada mañana con una sonrisa en la boca.
Te invito a dar tu primer paso dentro del mundo del buceo.. y quien sabe, si te gusta, tu también puedes llegar a los niveles mas altos.
Un saludo y nos vemos pronto. |

SCOTT BUTZ
PADI Staff Instructor Hi. I'm Scott. I'd been working my way around Asia for several years before I first came to Koh Tao. I'd never before considered diving- my passion was always traveling. Ten minutes into my first Open Water dive at Sunshine I knew I was hooked & couldn't believe what I'd been missing. How come no one told me that the most amazing ¾ of the world was accessible without a passport? Turns out all you need, is a sense of adventure and a little instruction to change your life completely. |

Hi I’m David,
I chose Sunshine Divers in 2007 to open my eyes to the magnificent underwater world that surrounds Koh Tao and beyond. The small groups, personal touch and Chalok Baan Kao were the main pulling factors for me. Now as a PADI Instructor, I hope pass on these delights to you. |

ANDREA FIX
PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer – Italy
"Diving – I just can't live without it!" This is my answer when people ask me why I chose to become a Diving Instructor and live on a tropical island.
What I would love to offer you is the opportunity to relax and enjoy your time with us at Sunshine Divers, and through our professional staff, experience the wonderful world underwater.
Just like diving transformed my life it may be a life changing experience for you! Come visit the world upside down for yourself!
"Diving non e' stata una scelta, semplicemente non riuscivo a stare senza" Questa e' la mia risposta quando mi chiedono il perche' di questo stile di vita.
Vieni anche tu a far parte del bellissimo Sunshin Dive Resort, con il nostro staff altamente preparato non farai una vacanza ma bensi' un'esperienza che ti cambiera' la vita nel meraviglioso mondo subacqueo.
Vieni a vedere di persona il mondo sottosopra. |
