This is the truth of the matter - 18 dive sites in Thailand have been closed. That's great. Wicked strongly approves of this action. That is 18 dives sites in 7 different marine parks in Thailand. That is 1 (one) dive site in the Similan National Park - an area of 140 square kilometers. There are more than 30 named dive sites and many more besides.
We strongly approve of the site that they chose to close too! It has been affected by the bleaching
and is in need of some time away.
The Similan Islands will be closed from May 1st until November 1st. That happens EVERY year for many years now. All dive operators close down during those months and is part the recovery cycle of the marine park.
Please do not let the drama of the media be contagious. The head of the parks has said they will not close the parks. There is no reason to. To close some dive sites is actually more than we would have hoped - it may actually do something! We strongly approve.
This is directly from the head of the marine parks of Thailand.
We will keep you all updated as things progress. As it stands, we continue to do what we do best - offer a great experience for our guests.
That is all...
