We have been having some amazing dives off Shark Point and Anemone Reef of late. Apart from the great 40 metre viz that is to be expected this time of the year, we have seen some really interesting stuff...If you are looking for big stuff, then lets keep fingers crossed for good luck. We have seen consistently in the past weeks, some leopard sharks sitting pretty in the sand as we descend. And lets not forget the bamboo shark that was sleeping snugly under that rock. And the occasional turtle that seems to have crossed over from King Cruiser Wreck over to Anemone Reef this season.

But what really intrigued the group of us last week was when at about 18 meters, lo and behold, a school of cuttle fish scuttled past us. There must have been at least 30 of them. It was amazing watching them as they winged their little petticoats daintilly across our paths. Then, as we thought the pleasure of watching these "pretty maidens" passing by was over, another school of at least another 20 or more of them came from the opposite direction, gracefully skirting their way to the surface.

Some facts about Cuttlefish...They are marine animals of the order Sepiida belonging to the Cephalopoda class (which also includes squid, octopuses, and nautiluses). Despite their common name, cuttlefish are not fish but molluscs. Cuttlefish have an internal shell (cuttlebone), large W shaped eyes, and eight arms and two tentacles furnished with denticulated suckers, with which they secure their prey. Cuttlefish eat small molluscs, crabs, shrimp, fish and other cuttlefish. Their predators include dolphins, sharks, fish, seals and other cuttlefish. They live about 1 to 2 years. Recent studies showed that cuttlefish are the most intelligent of the vertebrate species. Isn't that amazing?

Right, you're still not impressed? And you still want to see whale sharks, mantas and other big stuff? I have long outgrown the desperate need to see only the biggies...Honestly, every single dive is and can be an incredible one - and the sheer delight of discovering a leaf fish camoflouged against the corals, with its big beautiful glassy eyes reflecting the sunrays like two diamonds glistening in the water already enriches my day.

At the most happening spot of town, KRABIDIVERS.com is hosting our first St Patrick's Day party celebrated worldwide on March 17th every year...But our party starts on SUNDAY MARCH 16TH, 2008!

Right in the heart of Ao Nang, the lovely beachfronted seaside town centre of Krabi, we are on the ground floor of the Sea of Love Plaza, which is the most happening spot in town. To find us, just look out for McDonalds, Swenson's and Star Bucks just across the street from where we are. Come to the Plaza and you will find us upfront at the main atrium.

Our party begins on March 16th - the night before St Patrick's Day - starting the moment our divers return from their day's diving - and will last all night, and all morning - and probably, all night long again.... So, if you are living in or visiting Krabi, pop over and join us for some all night music, food and of course, loads of drink. We promise you the cheapest beer in town!

Bring your friends. Everyone is welcome! It's a date - see you there!

We didn't expect to see so much from a simple half day snorkelling trip - turtles, box fish, razor fish and lots more...What was most interesting was that we could snorkel right through several overhanging rocks and into some caves created by the national rock formations. Krabi is probably one of the prettiest spots in Thailand and offers so much to the traveller. We had never seen so many fishes. And the water is very warm and comfortable at 29'deg'C!

We booked with www.KrabiDivers.com for our day out. They came to the hotel to pick us up. Taking off from Naphorat Pier just 5 minutes from the beachside town of Ao Nang, we hopped onto a quaint traditional long-tail boat that took us out to the big boat. Thereafter, it was just a 15 minute ride out on the sundeck as we soaked in some glorious sunshine with the warm sea breeze in our faces.  And for the next 4 hours, we were treated to several snorkel spots off the Krabi National Marine Park which features numerous limestone mountains that sit proudly in the water. After a wonderful afternoon, we were taken by longtail back to the pier and then back to the hotel. All this for a great afternoon, and reasonably priced at only 1,000 baht (about 20 Euros). The crew on the KrabiDivers.com boat were really friendly and fun and we had a wonderful time.

The world’s coral reefs are in alarming decline, and a recent groundbreaking study singles out human settlement, especially coastal development and agriculture, as the main culprit, even more so than warming sea waters and acidification linked to global warming.

The study found that declining reefs are endangering species of wildlife as well as tourism and fishing, which are vital for the local economy”, says Camilo Mora, of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. This meant continuing degradation of coral reefs may be soon beyond repair. And there certainly won’t be enough time for second or third chances.

It seems that it is human nature to be predators. It seems that it is a natural human instinct to seek control over others. That is probably the biggest mistake of the Master. The fact is that we humans should be here to protect and preserve, and not to conquer , all other natural life. It is probably high time now to set things right on the scale of evolution, and improve things around here.

DreamHost is the host server for thousands of websites from all over the world. We gave our webmaster Eric a simple brief - make the website come alive and show our customers from the globe just how wonderful a sport scuba diving is. Eric put his genius to work, and in a matter of weeks, put KrabiDivers.com and our website onto the map of the world!

Or give us ideas on how we can improve, tell us about it. And if you like what you see, we want to hear about that too! We welcome all honest feedback!!!

Going in the water for me is still a thrill every time, even though I have been diving since I was 14. And I am not going to tell u how old I am now, even if salt and pepper hairs crowd my head.The unbeatable sensation of being weightless, especially now with a few more kilos on my belt , of flying around pushed by the current, of hovering on top of a reef, searching for the smallest being on the rocks and looking for new encounters. The pleasure in diving can be achieved from the smallest things.Unfortunately I see many divers coming in and out the water, with long faces full of expectations not fulfilled. Expectation can be a life poison, instead of looking around and trying to understand the marine environment, some divers go into the water hoping to see mantas, sharks and so on…and at the same time, they crash onto coral reefs as nothing if happened, making Mother Earth’s efforts in vain. Destroying and complaining in a perfectionistic and materialistic way is such a reflection of their life on land. Observation forgotten, respect forgotten, care for others disappeared. It seems the only important thing is to have a trophy to show once back, a shell collected even if forbidden, a nice shot taken, at a cost of a broken reef. Disregarding the hundreds of years it has taken for the coral to grow, in a slow motion, patient and firm, like an old wise man.
