Ann Christmas
History
Ann started out as a Sales Rep before becoming an Area Manager for a contract cleaning company, then she met Gary. Gary was a Pub Landlord, and when they got together, Ann started running her own pubs as a Pub Landlady. At the peak, they ran 4 pubs between them with 60 employees.
Once Ann learned to dive, a change of career seemed inevitable. In 2008 they sold their last pub, the house in the UK was sold, possessions were E-bayed, and the next step was a move to Fethiye in Turkey to become a Divemaster. She did her IDC in Koh Tao, then set up Bambu Diving in Fethiye, before moving to Khao Lak in 2014.
Current
Ann has spent the last few years concentrating on teaching professional level dive courses and specialties. She has patience and a wicked sense of humour, along with a desire to see everyone reach their full potential, and become the best diver/divemaster/instructor that they can be.
