Scobby and Jolien Heelan 

Growing up on the islands of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, this Tasmanian devil could dive before he could walk. As a child he spent his days spear fishing with his little tank and improvised regulator.  Eighteen years and hundreds of dives later he finally obtained his open water license back in Australia. After years of traveling and diving the Pacific he finally settled in Thailand and started teaching people how to dive.

One of his courses included his future wife Jolien. “Jolien did her open water course with me and never left”, he laughs. “She was as impressed with me as I was with her. She speaks five languages and has a degree in international economics.”

Working for one of the biggest dive schools in the world, together they have inspired thousands of students about the underwaterworld of Thailand throughout the last decade. 

Our aim. 

As dedicated dive instructors ourselves we know how frustrating it can be to visit spectacular places to see unique creatures with few facilities and more importantly without accurate information to work with.  

We have travelled to places to see Thresher Sharks, but it turns out Thresher sharks only come out during the new moon period, while we were looking at a beautiful full moon that week. Nobody bothered to tell us when we booked, although they must have known?....... We visited places to see, hammerheads, but it transpires that the last hammerhead was seen there 22 years ago. So why is it still in the brochure?...... And the list goes on and on…… 

We created this website, purely based on our own experiences to give you the most accurate and reliable dive and travel information available. Our personalised service and wealth of experience will help divers to not only travel to all these unique locations, but also have the most enjoyable and unforgettable dive experience possible, without being disappointed or misled.

Peter Bowyer

DiveGlobe.com would not be online if it wasn’t for the expertise of our Wee Scotchman. After years being buried behind his computer, Pete decided that he wanted to see something else than the square screen of his PC. Traded his computer for a Dive Computer and started exploring the underwater world instead of the internet.

Unfortunately his little secret came out very fast and duty started calling, being the only real computer expert in the golf of Thailand. We needed Pete behind his desktop again. And he came back with vengeance. Created Koh Tao Ozone, one of the fastest growing computer and information businesses in the Golf of Thailand and is expanding fast to the other islands.

Koh TAo Ozone's Business parter Charlett Ragnarsson is the last link to the Dive Globe Management team. Her expertise in the Swedish Hosptality and experience on Yachts in the Mediterranean Sea eventually leaded her eventually to Thailand.

One of her must do’s was to try out diving so she did her open water course in the Andaman Sea which was directly followed by the advanced and rescue course. The passion for diving made her quit her yacht job and engage in dive master training on Koh Tao. Four years later she’s still enjoying diving around the “rock”.
