Marine Life Identification Project

No Flash

The variety of species that live within the Southern Gulf of Thailand is astounding. In an attempt to identify as many as possible, we have compiled a huge collection of photographs and descriptions of many of the species found here. View our Local Marine Life Identification Gallery to read more and possibly help us identify some unidentified species.

We are one of the best equipped dive schools on the island and can provide for a wide range of divers and snorkelers, catering for all sizes from XXS – XXXL. All of our equipment undergoes regular maintenance to ensure compliance with legal servicing requirements.

In addition to our standard equipment, we also supply Enriched Air Nitrox tanks, underwater digital cameras and are the only dive center on the island to provide dive computers free of charge to all qualified divers, and students above Open Water level (our staff will show you how to use the dive computer if you haven't tried one before).

Please ask a member of staff for details on the above.
