Tech Diving With Davy Jones Locker Koh Tao

Besides the recreational dive courses that we offer, DJL Diving has a strong focus towards deep technical diving and wreck exploration. We’re constantly running expeditions, seeking out new sunken wrecks and isolated pinnacles / coral reefs throughout Thailand. Dive Exploration is an important activity here at DJL – with dive expeditions there is always something new and exciting to discover. This is important for maintaining a dynamic, evolving environment in the dive shop.
