Some diving places in Thailand


Diving is an exciting game which is very popular in Thailand. More or less diving is available in all the places in Thailand but some of the places are really important such as places around the Koh Kraden wreck i.e. the remnants of a Japanese destroyer. Hin Nok is the other place known as home to the unusual Ghost Pipefish and Koh Dok Mai where diving can be done at night. But above all the diving around the Similan Islands is simply stunning. This can be called as the world class dive destination. The marine life is beautiful when the backdrop is clear water and white sand. The name of different islands can be mentioned as Breakfast Bend, Turtle Reef, East of Eden, Sharkfin Reef, etc. The Breakfast Bend is so called as often a person does his first dive here after breakfast. Sharkfin Reef is a self explanatory island where other fishes and underwater plants are available plenty in numbers.

It is always advisable to check the diving in the area where to be visited. Some places are better than the others. But often it is seen that the heavily populated places are less attractive. The example can be given as Pattaya offers to teach diving to different families. Usually the seas on the East coast are relatively unaffected by the sudden weather changes. It can sometimes fall in on the West coast during the rainy season. The diving cannot be so interesting on other locations as it is on the Similan Islands. However, if you want diving to be a part of your holiday then this may not matter as much. But in case you want diving to be the main reason for your holiday then you should be more particular about the place.
