She will pick you up from the pier, show you around, take you out for dinner, introduce you to other gap year takers and she will be there for you 24/7. Then you will also be working with your dive instructor daily. We also have a emergency number.

How much money will I spend per month during my Divemaster gap year?
We reckon you need a max. of 20 pounds a day, his is really enough for 3 meals a day and going out at night. If you have less to spend you can do it for less, if you have more to spend, just party every night and you will spend more.

We have arranged that your transfer tickets are ready at the desk of the hotel in Bangkok. The night after arriving you will get on a overnight bus and then in the morning a few hours on the boat. Also the pick up from the pier on Koh Tao on your day of arrival is included. The island is 21 square KM, and the resort is a 2 minute walk from the beach and all restaurants. So once you are on Koh Tao everything can be done .

Thailand is great for a gap year because the weather is always nice. Maybe except October and November, than it is rainy seaon. The rest of the year it is hot and sunny! And even in the rainy season you will have lots of sunshine and hot weather.
