-The Andaman Sea
Introduction: The best time of the year to dive
in the Andaman is from October to April. The visibility in the
Andaman is similar to that of the Gulf of Thailand but the area
has more extensive coral reefs. Due to the influence of the southwest
monsoon, most of the reefs surrounding the offshore islands occur
on the east side of the islands.
-The Gulf of Thailand
Introduction: This cost of Thailand is a gigantic shallow depression
just south of Cambodia. It is roughly 60 meters deep with a maximum
of 85. The area boasts a staggering 112 islands with countless fringing
reefs with rocks and succulent seabed. The reefs are not as varied
as that of the Andaman Sea but the marine life is still prolific.
