Diving
Many islands in national parks still have broad coral reefs, the highest dream of diving lover, which are the habitat of many creatures of the world under the sea, such as, scleractinian coral, soft coral, sponge, sea anemone, coralline, and many types of animals.
Coral reef can be found only in shallow water, which the sunlight can get through, about five meters sloping to more than 40 meters that is called deep-water coral. There are two types of diving, such as; shallow water diving called 'Snorkeling', and deep water diving called 'Scuba diving', each of which uses different equipment and style of diving.
Snorkeling is shallow water diving, which has diving mask with breathing pipe be an important device. Divers only make themselves float on the water, and put their faces down to see under-water scenery and animals. This type of diving is quite easy and not dangerous, so visitors can go diving by themselves.
Not only using diving mask with breathing pipe, but diver should wear lifesaving coat for getting long floating on the water. When diving in shallow water, divers may not use fins; they are not necessary but only let diver swim fast. Because when divers do not get used to that fins, or not use them regularly, that divers may get cramps. Fins can also cause harmful condition to coral, such as, broken that coral when crashing by swimming or drive too much sand to cover that coral to death.
Scuba Diving is a diving in deep water to discover deep-water coral reef. Therefore, diver have to use many devices especially air-pressure adjusting and air tank for breathing under water. In addition, anyone wanted to dive in deep water has to pass a special course and have a diving license. If that person has not passed the correct diving course, he or she might have got danger or died under deep water.
For licensed scuba diver, the person should not dive alone. The rule for scuba diving all over the world requires a scuba diver to have a 'buddy' for help while the person is under deep water. Besides, most of the area for scuba diving is far out of the shore so that the divers have to go by boat to the targeted place and lead by skillfully dive master while they dive. Anyone interested can contact scuba diving tourist agency, because there is safer while diving in-group provided by the agency.
Where to dive There are many beautiful, unspoiled coral reefs in the national parks, both in the Gulf of Thailand and Andaman Sea. Especially the coral reef in Mu Ko Surin National Park and Mu Ko Similan National Park, they are well known around the world, appropriate for snorkeling and scuba diving, and have many targeted places for diving. Mo Ko Lanta National Park, Hat Chaomai National Park, Tarutao National Park and Mu Ko Chumpron National park etc.
Diving Instruction One important thing divers should do while they are diving, that is to avoid touching the coral, only smoothly touch can break that coral, and take time for 10 years that the coral can grow to meet its size. Because the coral is growing very slowly, for examples, staghorn coral will grow only 5-6 centimeters a year, and massive coral will grow only 1-2 centimeters a year. Not only coral, there are also many sea animals such as sea anemone, fish, soft coral etc, which diver should not touch.
