Phoenix Divers on Channel V Thailand-diving on Koh Tao

During this years Save Koh Tao Festival, April 28th – 29th, Channel V
Thailand visited Koh Tao to help promote diving to the people of
Thailand. The presenters wanted to show that diving is fun, easy and a
great experience for people of all ages to enjoy!

Phoenix Divers welcomes Channel V Thailand!

Channel V chose Phoenix Divers to take them out diving. The dive resort is located on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao, and offers diving in many languages
including Thai! The VJ (tv presenter) “Bank” was the model diver.  Bank had never tried diving before, so he chose the SSI Resort Diver experience, an opportunity for those without a scuba license to try
diving. The one day experience included all his instruction on the
equipment, how to use it underwater, how to communicate underwater using hand signals and some basic skills to help make his dive more enjoyable.

ACE cameraman "Andy" films Bank on his diving experience!

One of Phoenix’s Thai instructor’s Nui, was chosen to take Bank on his dive.  Bank was also accompanied by Dive shop manager/Instructor Heather, Pang and the ACE Marine Images underwater camera crew were there to document his underwater experience. Bank’s experience was also captured above the waves by Channel V Thailand’s own film crew.
