Details

Description
We are a two years old dive center on koh tao, with two locations: one in Sairee beach and the second in Chalok bay. Our main office is in Chalok bay, where your accommodation will be located. We have a strong and fun family spirit.

Koh Tao is a small island only 3 by 7km so it is pretty easy to go around to enjoy the beauty of the tropical island. It is a magic spot for snorkelers and divers!!!

We are mainly looking for artist and communication expert (web design, social media), people than can do graphic design or play music, as we love live music, we have a concert every monday and want to organize more jam session.

we have a also a position available in the bar frommay 2016

We daily receive numerous requests and only have need for about 3-4 workawayers, so please be specific with your availability dates. We have a minimum stay of 1 week, although 2 weeks would be ideal. Longer stay requests are possible if it's a good fit.

Also if we cannot take you as a volunteer, we are happy to give between 5 and 10 percent discount on diving activities to people contacting us thru workaway.

INCREDIBLE! If we would have to use only one word that would be it. Will is full of energy! He and his whole team are amazing hosts. We really had great time working together and would advice anyone to go check the place in Koh Tao. Will introduced us to everyone he works with so right away we felt like family. Will is very openminded and the team… read more

Sorry, its taken me so long to post this. This really was one of my favourite work aways so far. A really lovely group of staff, on the stunning Koh Tao island.
Learning how to scuba dive and creating beautiful mural art as well, it was bliss.

This was my first workaway and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I spent about three weeks here teaching yoga and helping out occasionally in the kitchen for the delicious barbeques.

I stayed here for about a month and a half and loved it. The work was very simple and straightforward; you keep the place clean and tidy in the mornings and then have the rest of the day to yourself.

I had a great time working and exploring Koh Tao. The work was easy; morning cleaning around the bar, office and kitchen. We woke up early and had it finished in 2 hours, then had the rest of the day to yourself. Will and his staff are friendly and helpful regarding activities around the island. Thanks Will!

This host on Koh Tao was an amazing experience! I actually really enjoyed waking up every morning and cleaning/ sweeping the property.

I had so much fun working with them. The work is easy to manage and you can also enjoy the island in your free time. The work was mostly, sweeping and cleaning up around the shop, setting up the bar, some paper work. You definitely will have time to relax and enjoy the island + I did my open water.

Thanks for everything!
