Known everywhere as Bunny, Saowan is a TDI instructor at BB Marine Boating & Scuba Diving, a technical centre headquartered in Bangkok with branches operating as the Pattaya, Krabi and Phuket Scuba Clubs. He teaches sidemount and cavern among other technical courses. The most vivid account is from a cavern student writing nineteen hours after surfacing and still, in their words, running on the adrenaline — thanking "Kroo O Bunthorn Saowan" by the Thai honorific for teachers, which is how his students refer to him. Others describe several trips with the operation over time and consistently professional, friendly and honest staff, with a sidemount course singled out as excellent. Overhead training in Thailand is rare and concentrated in a few hands, which makes a cavern instructor working the mainland cave systems unusual.
