Sweetlips Pool was conceived, not just as a diving pool, but as a diving academy.
The only place in Khao Lak where all instructors, from any training agency, could come and use the best facilities for teaching people to dive.
The Sweetlips Diving Academy was planned with space to eat, relax, and change, along with different viewing areas – like many commercial pools in Europe.
Built on 2 storeys, there were viewing slots into the pool on the ground floor, and poolside seating on the upper floor.
The academy plans included accommodation – 6 villas and 3 blocks of rooms. The rooms went from hostel-style rooms with fans and shared bathrooms, up to ensuite rooms with air-conditioning.
All rooms and villas were surrounded by pools and fountains with walkways over the water connecting everything together.
A reception area and chill out space was planned at the entrance to the accommodation blocks.
