What happens when you take ocean education out of the classroom? After welcoming more than 200 international students last season, we look at how Living Blue’s school programmes combine underwater adventure, marine science and real conservation.
Living Blue is the new home for conservation, citizen science and ocean education at Big Blue Diving Khao Lak. Here’s how years spent diving the Andaman Sea – and a few good ideas along the way – grew into something much bigger.
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.
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.
Thailand’s crystal-clear waters harbour an extraordinary diversity of marine life, from the vibrant coral gardens of the Andaman Sea to the pristine reefs surrounding the Similan Islands.
