Yvonne Fries- Yvonne has been with us on & off now for over 2 years. She came originally to train as a Divemaster & after completing her course immediately got work on the island at another Koh Tao diveshop. When she became a PADI Instructor she was headhunted by numerous shops and she decided to choose the sexiest shop to work full time at. After that she then came & worked for Big Blue! Great for us though I think we might have pissed off her former employer- the boss resigned! Since then Yvonne has affectionately been nick named the Germanator! Like most Germans Yvonne is a perfectionist & because she really is such a great Instructor her students become perfect divers. Yvonne is engaged to be married next year to her long term boyfriend with the 'hard stickers' but we won't hold that against her.
Emily Billingham- Emily used to work as a Divemaster at another dive shop in Koh Tao before we got our greedy hands on her! She is a very accomplished SSI & PADI Instructor who can be found wondering around the resort looking extremely pretty in the day time & can be found leaning up against the bar down the local looking downright stunning at night! Emily has been working in Koh Tao now for about a year having left the real world as a school teacher. Apparently the young teenage boys in her class had trouble focusing on their work! She is extremely patient & has a very comforting bedside manner- so I've been told! She is a fully licensed Swimming Instructor as well so she is very capable of looking after you in the water, if you ask nicely! Unfortunatley for Emily her wetsuit went missing when she first arrived at Big Blue which was obviously very annoying for her but fantastic for all the guys! Especially when she puts on her bandana as well, eh boys!
Richard Carr- Rich is the newest of our batch of Instructors but has been with us for what feels like a lifetime! He came to us originally to start his Rescue Course & by the time he'd left us was a fully fledged PADI Instructor. He has worked all around Koh Tao at various dive centers as both an Instructor and a Divemaster & we're proud to have this northen monkey back where he belongs, which appears to be dancing on the stage in the Big Blue Bar to 70's disco if there ain't anyone Karaoke singing!
