“Little drops of water make the mighty ocean.” We take this saying pretty seriously and believe that if we want to change the world, we have to begin with ourselves. Reducing individual plastic consumption and wastage is of utmost importance in slowing down the downward trajectory that the health of our planet has taken. It […]

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.

I was drawn to the romanticism of this Island, its history under British rule and the fact that it was so close to the mainland and yet so far. These factors instigated me to buy a return ticket, six months in advance for a solo trip to the Andamans. An old school friend changed not only the course of my
