We are ready!

The offices are complete (nearly!)

Now that Annelies has arrived and started working with our full time office staff the team is complete. Alex has moved into the Tech Shop and it already looks great even though the signs have not arrived yet.

So let me introduce the official team to you:

Stefan Kasweber, General Manager, you know this Bavarian already J He doesn’t drink a lot of beer and he does smile a lot, are we really sure he is Bavarian?!

Lars Pohlmann, Operations Manager, we have another German to keep us super organized and on time for everything.

Annelies Fleers, Sales and Agent Representative. From The Netherlands and speaking many other European languages, this lady will keep all our agents happy.

Alex Leeming, Head Instructor and Tech Shop Manager. From England, supporting all the dive staff liaising with the PADI guys and in charge of Khao Laks’s first technical diving centre.

John, Retail Manager. Also from England, will be the “go-to-guy” in Khao Lak for everyone’s equipment needs.

Ryan Scheemaker, Web master. From The Netherlands, this is the man behind our beautiful new website and providing our essential database.

Bee, Manager’s Assistant. This lovely Thai lady keeps us all sane, liaises with the Thai staff and keeps, facebook and our blog up to date.

We all have brand new Macintosh computers to work from and are very excited about the new website and database that Ryan will deliver to us very soon. We are also working with a professional Apple Mac service engineer from Germany who will install our office network, server, firewalls etc.

I am VERY excited to announce that Ben and Simone Reymenants will continue their partnership with Khaolak Scuba Adventures and help me run the Tech centre. They will be opening their new office in Chalong this weekend despite delays to the work from the beautiful monsoon weather!

Of course these are not the only people working here in low season, Pa Faan and Oi are in accounting and Phi Toun and all the Thai taxi drivers are busy with building an extension out the back of the dive centre. 

Chris is also busy checking on the progress of the boat refurbishments having already worked hard to service all the dive equipment.

Come high season Phi Toun will be helping Lars with operations, with bookings in the main dive centre and the tech centre and with hotel advice for our guests. Chris will be the technical support offshore, so he is on all the boats making sure compressors blending systems and diving equipment are all in tip top condition.

So, we can’t wait to get all our dive staffs back to Khao Lak for a big celebration in October - we miss you guys! And we will need lots of tourists to take diving and snorkeling too.

See you all soon J
