Diving In Thailand

The Kingdom of Thailand, often known as the "Land of Smiles" is also a land of fabulous diversity, and nowhere is this more
evident than in its crystal seas. With 2,600 kilometres of coastline and hundreds of idyllic islands, Thailand's waters harbour a
mes-merising menagerie of life, from vast coral reefs, to shoals of brilliantly-coloured fish, to such breathtaking and exotic
visitors as manta rays, turtles, sharks and dolphins.

The seas around Thailand are unusually calm and clear, and at a temperature of around 28 degrees, perfect
habitat fo, more than 200 species of coral and the tens of thousands of different types of organism they support.
But a large part of the reason for Thailand's marine bio-diversity lies in the fact it comprises two distinct
ecosystems.

To the west is the Andaman Sea, part of the Indian Ocean, home to the internationally-renowned resorts of Phuket and Phi Phi
and the world-class diving sites of the Similan and Surin islands. To the east stretches the Gulf of Thailand, famed for its
laid-hack diving havens of Ko Samui and Ko Tao, and biggest marine national park of the region, Mu Ko Ang Thong. One
benefit of these two systems is that together, unlike other tropical locations, they offer ideal snorkelling and diving conditions all
year round.

The Gulf of Thailand is perfect between May and September, with the Andaman clearest between October and
April. As well as crystal seas teeming with life, Thailand offers laid-back beach life on golden, palm-fringed
shores, all the sports and leisure activities you could desire and a famously friendly and welcoming people. It's
no wonder that every year more and more visitors come back to marvel at the Land of Smiles.
