The last couple of weeks we have been blessed with rather excellent weather here at Koh Chang. This results in great diving conditions at all dive sites.
DivingScool's divers visited the National Marine Park several times last week and they all came back with huge smiles on their faces! Good visibility, plenty of fish, the return of color on the corals and some remarkable sightings from baby sharks to huge Queen helmet shells makes the diving more than worth wile this time of the year.

Some sad news has to be mentioned as well, last week several carcasses of dolphins have been found on the beaches of Klong Prao. Fishermen who, presumably, had caught it had cut the meat off, leaving the head, tail and guts. Local fishermen have filed complaints against Vietnamese ships fishing in their local waters, whether their presence and the death of the dolphins is related has yet to be determined, but I've never heard of Thais killing dolphins for food. Hopefully it stays to nine unfortunate dolphins that have been counted so far and that everyone can enjoy their presence around Koh Chang and its neighbouring islands.

To round up I would like to mention that DivingScool Koh Chang is participating in the Annual Underwater Clean Up together with Project AWARE which will be on the 25th September 2010. More information about this event will follow soon. Please check out some of our current excellent
promotions!
As for now...

Having lived on Koh Chang as the local cable TV producer KCTV (now finished)in 2008, I'd love to be your Sydney, Australia agent, where I am currently residing, and bring tours over on a regular basis. Cheers.
