The team Aquanauts past and present

We are proud to present our team. Here at New Heaven we seem to be incredibly fortunate, our dive leaders have all been individuals who share the same spirit of adventure, from all walks of life and from every corner of the earth. Many of our divemasters and instructors started as beginners with us here on Koh Tao. They enjoyed their underwater and the Koh Tao experience so much they made it a part of their lives. Hopefully there will be much more interaction with new faces in the future and of course we would love to see those old faces back again...

Shell is both a PADI and SSI instructor taking the courses in English. Her previous job was training champion race horses, so even the most difficult student is easy for her to control. Its easy to feel comfortable and relaxed with Michelle under the water.Enjoying life is her passion, which she successfully brings across in all the courses she teaches.

Tom & Soe

Without these guys the dive shop would never be the same. Both have been working at New Heaven for years now, they drive the boat, fill the tanks, fix the gear buy the snacks, build the shop water the garden, fill the water tanks, check the buoy line, service the boat .......etc etc....... i think you get the picture. Its such a pleasure to work with these guys, both of them are from Burma, We salute you our Burmese Brothers.

Chad

As well as being the main Divemaster in the shop Chad is also running the marine conservation courses at New Heaven. His scientific background serves him well in the fantastic marine lectures that Chad gives. Diving at New Heaven since 2006 Chad first came to the island to complete our first marine conservation course, now 3 years later he is running the courses. Everything is possible especially when you put love and devotion into your actions. Its always a pleasure to dive with this man, his relaxed attitude and knowledge of the underwater world makes your dives an experience of both fun and learning. Hope you can have chance to dive with Chad.

Jean nick provides a lot of the free entertainment. daily stand-up performances are available with every Open Water course. I count myself lucky to have known this fellow since 1997, One of New Heaven's first Aqua instructors . Jean nick has been making me laugh ever since, as well as the fun he is also a fantastic scuba instructor. With perfect French and English, jean nick can also teach you in Spanish, Italian and swaheli. How can you say no to this man look at those teeth.
