 Thailand
has much to offer the visiting diver and snorkeller.
There is a vast range of exhilarating sites of many
different kinds, providing something for everyone, regardless
of their qualification levels of experience. With over
2000km of coastline and hundreds of offshore islands
the variety is phenomenal, encompassing everything from
extensive fringing reefs to deep drop-offs, dramatic
granite walls, caves and tunnels, coral-covered pinnacles,
and sea-mounts in open ocean. Spectacular hard and soft
corals abound, and the marine life is prolific, ranging
from minute and colorful reef dwellers to Manta Rays,
sharks and pelacig visitor such as Giant Barracuda,
tuna, trevally and the mighty Whale Shark.
With the Andaman Sea to the west and the Gulf of Siam
to the east, Thailand is unique in that it borders two
distinct oceanic zones, each with their own peculiarities
and marine life. Each side has its own distinct diving
season.
