With PADI Dive Instructor Bas helping me, we cooked up 13 kilos of my special Beercan Chicken and 16 kilos of Texas Barbecued ribs with spicy Jack Daniels barbecue sauce. To round it out we had coleslaw, potato salad and, of course, a few boxes of ice-cold beers. Bas and I spent the day cooking at my place for the big party and I really appreciated being able to transport the food to Moov which meant that they got stuck with the clean-up. The Gulf of Thailand is experiencing some of the nicest weather that we&#8217;ve had in months and the<strong> Koh Tao internship trainees<\/strong> are soaking up all the sun, fun, drinks and atmosphere that has made the place famous!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_279\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/5375117336_27d38d9ab8_o.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-279\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-279\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/5375117336_27d38d9ab8_o-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"PADI Instructor\/ Divemaster Barbecue\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/5375117336_27d38d9ab8_o-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gapinternshipsthailand.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/5375117336_27d38d9ab8_o.jpg 650w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-279\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The PADI DM and IDC programs really let you work up an appetite!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We&#8217;ve had many new people coming for the Divemaster and Instructor Internships recently and the island is abuzz with the sounds of happy divers coming and going to the sea.
