Programme One
... takes you on a journey to the South of Thailand where the laid back lifestyle of Krabi, Koh Lanta and the Phi Phi Islands is what attracts tens of thousands of people every year. Krabi is a small town nestled between limestone cliffs which surround the area. It has been famous for many years for its Rock Climbing ... Many people are attracted to Railley Beach to challenge themselves on the shear walls. The beaches are also well known for their powdery white sand and the chance of finding a truly secluded bay. Diving has grown quickly over recent years due to the increased possibility of Whale Shark and Manta Ray sightings especially around Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, and Koh Ha. For the wreck diver ... The King Cruiser, a Car Ferry, which sank in May 1997 after colliding with Anemone reef, offers the chance to see the result of coral growth and quick habitation by schooling fishes and invertebrates. This programme also looks at the Leopard Shark ... relatively calm, they can be seen either laying, relaxing on the sand around the edges of several reefs in the area or swimming, patrolling the water. Normally quite tolerant of divers, they will usually just lay while photos are taken, although flash bulbs tend to scare them a little. The reefs in general are in good condition predominantly made up of large hard coral areas with soft coral gardens. |

thought it would be great fun to travel
around Thailand filming all the different dive sites. This simple idea
turned quickly into a full blown project and so "Discover Scuba Diving
Thailand" began. We decided to not only show the different dive sites, but
also a brief intro to each area we visit, Other Activities - which can be
enjoyed after diving were also included and just to give people a complete
view, we thought it would be nice to let you see the various standards of
accommodation available. So ten months later, we have produced "Discover
Scuba Diving Thailand". A DVD format series of four programmes each produced
in 5.1 stereo and with translation into 6 languages. This however is just
the beginning, if you like what we have produced...next year the DVD will be
translated into Chinese, Korean, Italian, Dutch and French. So check out the
website from time to time - we will keep you updated with further
developments and any interesting news which will help you really enjoy your
visit to Thailand.
While filming all the dive spots, we
visited and assessed accommodations, dive centers, and further activities
available at the respective locations. If we liked what we saw in terms of
both quality and fun, we awarded the Dive Club Thailand Seal.
