新年明けましておめでとうございます。
2018年も魚たちがどんな姿を見せてくれるか楽しみです。
遅まきながら、昨年のダイビングを振り返りたいと思います。
中でも印象に残ったのはやはりジンベエザメ。私にとって初めてのジンベエザメで、実に優雅な姿でした。遠巻きにうっとりとみていたら、こちらの方に口を開けて近づいてくるではありませんか。そのうち適当なところで避けてくれるだろうと思ったら大間違い。ダイバーの泡をプランクトンだと勘違いするようで、そのままこちらに突入。しばしの間口を大きく開けたジンベエザメから逃げ惑う羽目に。。。
ジンベエを
みたら保とう
いい距離を
そしてロウニンアジ、カスミアジ、キツネフエフキ、ツムブリの群れ。彼らが一緒に群れているのを見られるのは、もしかするとここだけかもしれません。ものすごい数で群れています。

As 2025 comes to a close, we reflect on an extraordinary year of collaboration between Big Blue and Andaman Turtle Watch. From leading the region in citizen science submissions to launching the Andaman Sea’s first public sea turtle photo-ID database, this partnership shows what’s possible when conservation is embedded into everyday diving. The data, the discoveries, and the turtles tell a powerful story – and this is only the beginning.
Adventure meets conservation! Big Blue Diving Khao Lak played a leading role in Andaman Turtle Watch’s début season, driving sea turtle research, creating turtle-trips, and launching the first public ID database.
Coral spawning around the Similan Islands is one of nature’s most incredible spectacles. Each year, during the full moons of March and April, corals release eggs and sperm into the sea, ensuring the reefs’ regeneration and supporting the region’s rich marine biodiversity. This synchronized event is vital for the future health of the Similan reef ecosystem.
For divers who live and breathe the ocean lifestyle – spending days at sea, diving pristine reefs, and naturally wanting to protect the incredible marine world we’re passionate about.
We’ve partnered with Andaman Turtle Watch to offer an unique 4-night conservation-focused diving experience in the Similan Islands. These educational expeditions combines our renowned diving standards with hands-on turtle research opportunities.
Perfect for divers seeking an educational adventure that makes a difference.
