Dive Team

Jesper Ahrentz, Co-Owner & Manager - PADI Master Instructor #465767 (Denmark)

Jesper left his home country of Denmark after finishing school, to go backpacking in Australia for about 6 months before returning to begin University. While traveling, he decided to give diving a try, and it changed his life - he has now been working in the dive industry for over 20 years. In that time he has taught over 5000 students, which makes him one of the most experienced PADI instructors in the world! He’s also really, really good at spinning on his head on the bottom of the sea. Jesper manages the dive centre, spreading laughter while he works. When Jesper is not in the office, he climbs the highest mountains in the world.
Will North, Co-Owner & Manager - PADI Staff Instructor #498156 (Canada)
Will’s passion for diving began in 1998, when he first learned to dive on the Great Barrier Reef during a backpacking trip. During his open water dives, he was hooked on the feeling of near-weightlessness. He returned home to Canada and taught public school for 8 years, but he never forgot his love for the ocean. In 2008, he took a leap of faith. He left his job, sold his house, and moved to Thailand to become a PADI instructor. This was a very good idea, and he hasn’t looked back since. Will spends most of his time welcoming guests, scheduling, organizing and supporting the incredible dive team at Ocean Sound Dive & Yoga. He also enjoys running, travel and aviation.

Sam Possamai, Dive Instructor - PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor #369711 (Brazil)

Originally from Brazil, Sâm has been traveling since she was 18. During a 3 year stint living in Australia, she went diving for the first time and the first seeds of change were planted. She then backpacked through Indonesia, and went diving again, this time getting her Open Water certification. Next up she explored the waters of the Philippines and Thailand, and was hooked for good. She decided to change her travel plans and her life plans. She gave up her plane ticket to go home, became a dive instructor, and has been living the dream ever since. Teaching is itself a passion, and when combined with diving, brings Sâm joy and pure happiness! When she's not diving, she loves to watch beautiful Koh Tao sunsets, listen to music, and cook feasts!
Judi Lev, Dive Instructor - PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor #520730 (Netherlands)
Meet Judi! She discovered her passion for diving in 2016 in the Red Sea. From then onwards, she could see herself diving professionally, enjoying the social character of the job and having the ability to work in the coolest places worldwide. After her studies in hospitality and Business Administration, she decided to leave Amsterdam for the island life on Koh Tao. She says she is glad to work at Ocean Sound and enjoys the good vibes! If you dive with Judi, you’ll be sure to have a fun and energetic time as she shows you the beauty Koh Tao has to offer both in and out of the water! Feel free to add her on Instagram and see the island through her eyes @diving_with_judi
Rūta Melvere, Dive Instructor - PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor #382171 (Latvia)
Bio coming soon :)
Anton Steenholt, PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor #361261 (Denmark)
In the year 2000 Anton was on a family holiday in Koh Tao at the age of 12 when he learned to dive. As a junior swimmer, and a true water dog, scuba diving instantly became THE goal in life. After some years at school, 5 years working in an office, a good amount of backpacking trips and a big garage sale, Anton headed towards Koh Tao once again in 2014. Being able to introduce the magical underwater world and to share his passion with others is his dream come true. Besides diving, he loves to travel and still dreams of climbing a mountain one day. He loves the beach, frisbee, sunsets and palm trees and food, which is a hobby that he practices in good amounts every day.

Support Team

Ko, Ocean Sound Driver (Thailand)

Ko is the best taxi driver on Koh Tao! As the Ocean Sound driver, he transports divers to the boat and swimming pool. He has great style and is always dressed to impress! Though we haven't yet gotten Ko to take his PADI course, Koh Tao's coolest taxi driver takes great care of our divers above sea level. When he's not driving his taxi, he's a bit of a pool shark and also loves playing with his young son, Gong. 
Joy, Ocean Sound Office Assistant (Thailand)
Joy is from Phattalung in southern Thailand, but has been living in Koh Tao and working at Ocean Sound for the past 4 years. 

Mr. White, Boat Cat (Thailand)

Mr. White is the most popular guy at Ocean Sound. He lives on the dive boat, and loves to cuddle with our divers, play on the grass covered sundeck of the boat, and eat fresh sushi. He does not love being on dry land as he has major sea legs. He also really loves to snooze in bags, so make sure you check your backpack before you get off the dive boat, or you may end up with a stowaway!
