| The Andaman Sea lies to the west of Thailand and is home to the
most diverse collection of marine-life in the world. You'll find,
not only the best diving in Thailand, but also some of the finest
diving in the world. |
| From tiny shrimps and nudibranches to the largest
fish in the sea - the Whale Shark, you can expect to find creatures
to thrill you and underwater scenery that will take your breath
away. |
Thailand's reefs are generally in excellent condition.
Many National Marine Parks have been created to help preserve
the reefs and locally much is done to educate fishermen and boat
captains to use low impact fishing methods and mooring buoys,
rather than to drop anchor onto live coral. Within the National
Marine Parks, fishing is only permitted to local fishermen and
is discouraged around the major dive sites. |
| At Baan Laanta, we actively support ecologically
responsible diving practices and conduct all our teaching in Narima's
swimming pool. We encourage divers who have not dived for a while
to take a refresher course and buoyancy check in the pool before
taking a dive trip out to the reef. We keep group sizes small and
fully brief all our divers on responsible diving practices before
each dive. |
| By doing this we hope to help conserve Thailand's
beautiful reefs for many generations to come. We also hope that
our divers feel more confident, safe and relaxed when diving from
the boat so that they enjoy their time diving more fully. |
