Tuk Nurnsakate – Tuk is for sure the most relaxed instructor in Khao Lak. He speaks better English than most of us and is also better dressed than most of us, both on land and underwater. He is one of our main instructors and knows his way around the Similan Islands as good as the streets in Bangkok. He was trained in Koh Lanta, but when he moved to Khao Lak we were quick to get our hands on him and since then he has been making our guests happy with his charm and smiles.
If you are ever looking for him on the boat, you might want to check out the kitchen, as he likes to cook. Rumour has it that one day he would like to open a restaurant in Khao Lak. That would be a disaster for the dive school, but for sure we will have another favourite restaurant in town. Luckily he is still happy to dive and teach with us so for now he can keep combining his cooking skills and teaching skills on our liveaboard.
Tuk is also our family man, he has a great way with children and seems to be able to turn anyone into a great diver, from children to the elderly….
