Trevor Emerson, Ireland
Hi all
I'm Trevor the owner/manager of Sairee cottage diving, I'm a PADI and SSI instructor but spend most of my time in the dive shop making sure everything runs as smooth as possible.
Originally from north Dublin i have spent a lot of my 20's traveling the world, after some restless years i finally ended up in Thailand and then Koh Tao, where i fell in love with the island life style and the underwater world. After spending 4 years working as a Dive Master and Videographer I decided it as time to take the leap and open my own dive shop. so if you contact Sairee Cottage Diving there is a very good chance it will be me you are talking with, and i take great pride in making sure all our customers receive the special treatment they deserve on there dream holiday.
Looking forward to meeting you some day.

Hi guys, looking forward to your adventures? I decided to turn pro nearly 6 years ago and love teaching diving. Having taught in various parts of the world, here is the best. If it's a cool relaxed buzz you're after Sairee Cottage has a personal feel to it. If your not already amazed how beautiful Koh Tao is then wait until you see the dive sites. I'm able to teach PADI and SSI and many courses including pro level, why not let me teach you all the way to pro level and change your lifestyle completely. Great island, great diving, awesome parties! |
