State of the local sea

I went to 3 dives in the direction of Phi Phi Island.

This day was also a consecutive holiday in Thailand, and it was crowded with Thai guests and Thai residents on the boat.

In the sea, it feels like good water conditions and muddy water mix in the sea.
It's beautiful here, but when I went there, it felt like it was moody, and it was a 50/50 sea.
It's a common sight here at the dive site in Phuket, but this water circulation probably forms a rich sea.

On Bida Knock Island, sharks roam in a shallow, narrow bay. There are many young individuals less than 1m and they are cute. Occasionally, a big individual will come in, but ...

The famous Golden Wall is still alive, but is it nutritious? It's spread out in the area, so it's amazing in front of me, but I'm a little disappointed that I didn't feel like I could see the whole thing.

The third shark point is as good as Phi Phi Island, and the fish are still in the chaotic water that is typical of Asia. Such an underwater landscape is also unique to Phuket!

Today was a lively day both on the boat and in the sea.

State of the local sea

Today I went to 3 dives in the direction of Rachanoi Island.

On Rachanoi Island, dive in Banana Bay, Banana Rock on the east side.

The coral colony at Banana Rock is one of my favorite points that I never get tired of looking at.
Only this place survives the destruction of the coral, and you can see the growth process of the coral every time you dive, and it is a growing colony that is expanding more and more than before.

In the photo, the clusters are so wide that you can't take the whole picture!

Kinsen snappers were also present on the wreck on Racha Yai Island, and swarms of barracuda and yellowtail scads were spinning around.

Today was a lively day both in the boat and in the sea, probably because of the consecutive holidays in Thailand.

State of the local sea

Following Phi Phi Island diving, diving toward Rachanoi Island.

On this day, diving at the dive site "South Chip Pinnacle", which I haven't known for the first time in a long time!

A hidden root point slightly offshore from the southern tip of Rachanoi Island.
It is a dive site for intermediate and above because it has depth and is greatly affected by the flow, and it is a dynamic terrain point reminiscent of diving in the Similan Islands.
At such a dynamic hidden root point, I would expect a big encounter, but unfortunately this day ...

Depending on the sea conditions of the day, there are many cases where you cannot dive, so it is a rare dive site at a point near Phuket.

I've been diving for the first time in a while so I'm a little nervous!
I wish I could meet a big game with this, but ...

This is also the world of diving!

In a sense, it is possible to dive at this point only now that there are many Thai local diver guests. !!

State of the local sea

Following Coral Island the other day, I went to Phi Phi Island fan diving the next day.

It was raining from the morning on that day, but by the time we started diving, the rain had stopped and we managed to avoid diving in the rain.

Although it was a dive in a cloudy sky, the condition was refreshing in the sea.
As usual, the sea of Phi Phi Island feels like a fluffy fish dancing.
I dived on Bidanai Island for the first time in a long time on this day!
It's been a long time, and it was a nostalgic dive.

The third dive was a shark point, but it's in good condition here as well.
In the latter half of the dive, the fish were noisy and the atmosphere was nice.

On this day, the sea was cleaner than the sky, and I enjoyed a pleasant dive!

The other day, I went diving to Coral Island.

I was worried about the weather on the weekend, but this day it was sunny from the morning!
The island was also crowded with many Thai tourist guests.

Coral Island, which is a little off the coast of the large Chalong Bay, was less affected by the waves and had a pleasant calm sea condition. Even in the sea, the condition is quite good from the shallow area where you can reach your feet.

It was a sea condition where you can enjoy diving and snorkeling!

Pro democracy protests in Bangkok

Since last week Bangkok has been occupied by tens of thousands pro democracy protestors who held flash rallies and protests at several locations throughout Bangkok. A three finger salute has become a symbol led by the student movement.

The protestors have been calling for significant changes which are rewriting of the military- drafted constitution, new elections and reform of the monarchy.

Several protest leaders and activist have been arrested on various charges, including sedition, since the protest started.
