Congratulations to new PADI Divemasters Patty and Sam who recently completed their DM internship here at Simple Life Divers.
Patty [Mexico] joined us for the Divemaster internship having spent several years working on cruise ships, meanwhile Samantha [UK] was previously running adventure tours in the Rocky Mountains U.S.A.

Under the guidance of instructors Alex and Steve, the couple sailed through their PADI Divemaster internship, qualifying as competent Divemasters.
Following the Koh Tao tradition, Patty and Sam celebrated passing the Divemaster course with their ‘snorkel test’ (which basically involves drinking a cocktail through a snorkel!).
A good crowd gathered at ‘the Brother’ bar and restaurant at the Sairee Village crossroads to celebrate the occasion, which no doubt went on till the early hours for some!

Ahem… I wouldn’t call it so much “celebrated” as “managed to survive”
Miss everyone!!! Life at home is just not fun!
