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. I consider myself to be a global citizen having worked in Australia, Canada, the Caribbean, Egypt, and Thailand which has allowed me the opportunity to gain an appreciation for several cultures and diverse diving environments. I promise an unforgettable experience with us, and look forward to meeting you soon at Sunshine Dive Resort.

“THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE”. I wrote the eight simple words almost 20 years ago in my new log book the day I received my Jr PADI Open Water certification. These words combined with a true passion for the underwater world, have transformed my life and taken me around the world. Teaching diving has since become a career and a privilege which I would gladly share with you! As the Course Director at Sunshine Divers my priority is to ensure that you receive quality PADI programs at all levels from Open Water to Instructor. I guarantee that you will notice our approach to providing personalized, thorough, and most importantly FUN educational experiences.

Hey, I'm Emily, one of the instructors here at Sunshine Divers. I've been living in Thailand for over three years now, and like so many of you, wondered how I could make my holiday into a reality. So, I invite you to step into my office - a blue freedom without boundaries and I think you too will come to understand why I love my job. So come into the "Sunshine" and we'll show you the lighter side of life.

Hi, I’m Ties from The Netherlands.
I ended up on Koh Tao a few years ago during a 12 month world trip and it was here where I discovered the fascinating underwater world.
Ever since I’m hooked on diving and nowadays I have the privilege of teaching people how to dive and enjoy the worlds oceans!
Come in for a chat and I’m pretty sure that you too will be swimming with the fish quite soon!

Hallo, Ik ben Ties uit Nederland
Heb jij altijd al gedroomd over het verkennen van de zee?
Kom dan binnen voor een praatje en ik weet zeker dat ook jij binnen de korste keren met ons in zee gaat

Hi, I’m Greg. For the last 20 years I have lived in the Channel Isles surfing and enjoying the ocean. Now after swapping one island for another I’m taking guests diving everyday and teaching beginners to explore the underwater world with us at Sunshine Divers. Come join me in a magical underwater fiesta!

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.
