SCUBA Diving in Koh Tao - Japanese Gardens and White Rock
When in Koh Tao we did our open water certification with Pimp My Dive and we can't recommend them enough.
We did 4 dives in total but only had the Go Pro for the 3rd and 4th. We also didn't know you need a special filter to get the colours to look the same as then do to your eyes.
The video does not do the place justice and I will be picking up a filter as soon as i can find one.

Eco Conservation on Koh Tao - This is What Happens When People Work Together
Eco Conservation on Koh Tao with Sairee Cottage Diving and Roctopuss Dive. During our MSDT program we joined forces with Roctopuss Dive to teach our Divemaster, IDC and MSDT candidates how to organize different Eco projects in an easy and fun way.
We first had a lecture about using Eco websites, facebook, Project AWARE and other social Network Pages effectively in promoting Eco topics followed by 3 Eco Projects: Beach Clean Up, Coral Watch Monitoring and a Reef Clean Up in the afternoon. What an Awesome Day!
In a very competitive dive industry on Koh Tao we from Sairee Cottage Diving and Roctopuss Dive believe more in working together to become more successful and create divers with a better attitude. Especially when it comes down to organizing Eco projects we should all work together!

Sunshine Divers Reef Clean Koh Tao Thailand

Visions in Blue, Biofluorescent or UV Night diving on Koh Tao
Visions in Blue won 2 awards in 2013 and 2 in 2014. In Silently, the Short underwater movie festival Belgrade / Nečujno FKPF Beograd it won the Jury Award Best of Best and in the FMISM, Festival Mondial de l'Image Sous-Marine the Dimitri Rebikoff Prize for innovation (Prix Dimitri Rebikoff de l'innovation). 3rd place in the category camera in the Delfin Fest Underwater Film Festival.
UV Night Diving or Fluo Night diving is a mind blowing experience! Equipped with a vizor over our mask and a Blue torch we discovered a completely different world in the waters we have been diving for many years... The bright glowing reef is stunning and when we take a closer look we can see the polyps feed. On the sandy bottom, we discover that Flounders are orange and Devil Scorpionfish shine in pink, purple or red.
To be able to film this natural wonder, we got barrier filters for the camera and video lights from UV Dive Koh Tao. They introduced the Oceans Below staff to this magic!
