Diving in Thailand
According to ebizdir, Thailand has more than a hundred dive sites to offer diving enthusiasts, and beginners can even get lost in such a variety. An important reference point can be the time of year: where it is good in April, it may not be interesting at all or even dangerous in July. Let’s name a few places that are of interest in the period from March to August.
In April-May, you can catch the diving season in the Similan Islands. Whale sharks, reef sharks, barracudas, octopuses, clown fish… The variety of marine life here is incredibly high. Even just snorkeling here will be interesting. Koh Tao is a great place for those who have just started diving or just graduated. You can dive here all year round, and although the variety of local underwater life is not so great, you can admire sharks here (even whales occasionally swim here). In Pattaya you can dive all year round. Unfortunately, the local corals are mostly destroyed and at the moment there are only two places left in the vicinity that are truly worthy of the attention of divers, but for those
The months from April to October are ideal for surfing. Weather conditions that make diving dangerous are a surfer’s dream. The best place to catch a wave is Phuket. Going to Thailand, seasoned fans of this sport should definitely grab a short board. For beginners, it is best to choose the beaches of Kata Yai and Nai Harn, and for masters – a direct path to Kalim Beach – this is where you should go when all other places are closed. Suitable waves can be found on the beaches of Rayong and Trat.
And finally, for those who prefer to stay on the surface and contemplate the life of the inhabitants of the sea, Thailand can offer excellent places for snorkeling. In Phuket, you can swim all year round, interesting corals are located on the beaches of Kata (Kata Beach), Karon (Karon Beach) and Patong (Patong Beach). But the real paradise for snorkellers – the waters off Phi Phi Island – here you can find a huge number of tropical fish, and the sea remains calm all year round.
