Diving With Sharks And Rays In Thailand

We just got back from Scubalov’s second international triof the season! We were hosted by a warm and eco-friendly operator on a well equipped, comfortable boat from the 20th – 23rd April and the experience was pure bliss. We were fortunate enough to dive the best Thailand had to offer. The trip took us around to the Surin Marine National park, Richelieu Rock, Koh Tachai and Koh Bon. The dive sites around these islands have very distinct, gorgeous topography and some brilliant sightings around this time of the year apart from the abundant variety of big and small fish.

International School’s Field Visit To Scubalov

International School’s field visit to Scubalov We had a group of 20 children from a renowned International School visit us for a scuba diving oriented field trip from the 27th of April till the 1st of May, 2018. The best part about this group of 11 to 16 year olds was that they were a mix of certified divers as well as new Open Water students, all ready to dive the beautiful reefs around Havelock Island. Theory of Boredom Teaching kids how to dive is a bit of a challenge. Although they have no fear and can’t wait to get into the water, completing the theory component of the course is not always something that excites them. For them to become safe and comfortable divers they need
