Harriet (Ria), Houdini (Houdi), Dotty and Flea are the focal point of Escape Divers, the true bosses. They were rescued after being found in a rubbish bag dumped in Koh Tao and then adopted by Escape Divers. It wasn't long before they had everyone under their spell!

The founding owner and one of the diving instructors. Jon was born in the UK and after serving for several years in the RAF, he travelled the world learning from different cultures in different industries. He most recently ran a hugely successful Audio Visual and events company in the South East of England before the pandemic destroyed the industry. He certainly has the pedigree and experience to ensure Escape Divers becomes one of the top dive schools in Thailand.

Josh is Escape Divers' lead instructor. After serving in the British Army with distinction, Josh used his resettlement to train in the UK to become a diving instructor. He had been on Koh Tao working as a PADI OWSI when he was introduced to Jon and Iona. It was quickly established that the 3 had very similar beliefs on how SCUBA should be taught and how businesses should be run, so when he was offered the opportunity to become Escape Divers' lead instructor, he jumped at the chance! Josh is completing his RAID crossover in early January 2023.
Angie is one of the original team members at Escape Divers. After working for various dive centres around the island, she decided to settle with Escape to help it evolve. Working on land to ensure the smooth running of the operations, and being the only team member fluent in both English and Thai, Angie's value to the company is immense.
An avid diver currently certified to advanced level, Angie is planning to become a dive professional by qualifying as a divemaster in the near future.
Jenny started diving in 2018 and after racking up a tonne of dives in exotic locations like The Maldives, The Philippines and Indonesia she found her way back to Koh Tao during the pandemic where she completed her divemaster and subsequently her RAID instructor program.

Jenny started diving in 2018 and after racking up a tonne of dives in exotic locations like The Maldives, The Philippines and Indonesia she found her way back to Koh Tao during the pandemic where she completed her divemaster and subsequently her RAID instructor program. Jenny previously worked as a teacher in China for five years and speaks some conversational Mandarin. Underwater you are likely to find Jenny searching for her favourite yellow spotted box fish, hunting for macro life & dancing every time she sees something cool! You will never lose Jenny underwater if you are part of “team pink fins!”
The legend that is Paing! Born in Myanmar, Paing moved to Thailand in 2019. He is an essential member of the Escape team, involved in the day to day operations of the entire business, including kit care, building maintenance, puppy walking, ensuring customers and their kit are at the right places at the right times and making sure there's beer for our hostel guests!
Anna was Escape Divers' very first volunteer! She grew up in Catalonia and worked there for several years as a physicist!
Anna soon decided that she wanted to see what else the world had to offer, so packed her backpack and jumped on a plane. Soon after arriving in Thailand, she made her way to Koh Tao. As she walked up the street, she cou

Anna soon decided that she wanted to see what else the world had to offer, so packed her backpack and jumped on a plane. Soon after arriving in Thailand, she made her way to Koh Tao. As she walked up the street, she couldn't resist the smiles of the newly adopted puppies and quickly joined them in the Escape Divers shop.
Anna stayed with us for a couple of weeks and was a fundamental part of our initial set-up phase. She is greatly missed by everyone, but will always be a valued member of the Escape family. We're hoping she may return in the near future.

Nicole had been diving for many years before recently excelling on her DM program alongside Ethan and Lee and also deciding to continue her diving career with Escape Divers.
As a medical student in Latvia, Nicole is unable to commit all of her time to Escape throughout the year, so instead is joining us seasonally. She will be completing her instructor course with Ethan, Lee, Care and Emily in January so will continue to instruct for Escape whenever she is not studying in Latvia.
Care had been diving for several years before joining the Escape Team. She originally came to Escape as the manager of our Jungle Hostel before completing her divemaster with us. When she succesfully completes her instructor course in January she is set to lead our Thai dive team.
Cho has worked all over Thailand within the diving industry, most recently in Phi Phi before heading across to the Gulf of Thailand to join Escape Divers in the role of Manager. She has since started her diving career, having completed her OW20, EXP30 and First Aid.
Cho is incredibly excited about continuing to become a rescue diver and divemaster.
Matt has been living in Thailand and working as a dive instructor for over 6 years. Originally based in Koh Phangan, he made the move to Koh Tao at the start of 2023 before starting with Escape Divers in October. Matt's wealth of experience has been instrumental in helping Escape to reach the next level, culminating in him starting to set up Escape Tech, which is set to launch early 2024
Pitt is our newest, yet one of our most experienced, instructors. She's accumulated over 400 certifications since becoming an instructor and prides herself in creating some of the best divers on the island. Her excitement and passion with regard diving is infectious. She has very quickly become a key member of the Escape team.
