Big Blue Diving resort!! A record of the adventures and underwater antics of Big Blue customers and staff around the stunning island of Koh Tao

If you are in the UK right now, reading this...book a flight to Thailand and come to peaceful Koh Tao. Leave those fires, lootings and riots you've got going on over there. Here, we don't need a fire, it's hot as it is because of our lovely sun that is warming us up every day. The fire you can see here is from our awesome guys giving us fire shows on the beach, while you are eating your dinner or sipping away on a beer or drink, sounds pretty nice hey!?
Of course this is not only a suggestion for english people, it goes for everyone else as well!! Koh Tao, Big Blue and our fire show pro's welcomes all.
Our new wreck HTMS Sattakut showed her very best this morning, great visibility so that everyone could see her glory. Want to dive Sattakut?? Get on it, we're busy now that we have all he painted people over from black moon party.
Today, more and more people are keeping stingrays as pets. Unfortunately, keeping a ray as a pet is a lot of hard work. They need a lot of attention. Also, by encasing the stingray in a tank (which can sometime be up to 230 gallons) you can greatly reduce the lifespan. Many pet owners agree that they've experienced what they call "Sudden Ray Death." The stingray seems to die for no reason.
Even if you think it would be a great conversation piece to own a stingray as a pet, they are high maintenance, expensive, and difficult to take care of.
Hammerhead Sharks are stingrays' most frequent predators. A stingray's number one defense against an animal that is so large in comparison to their own size is their stinging barb. Hammerheads have been found with as many as twenty stingray barbs embedded in their throats!
WHY would you want to have a stingray trapped in a tank, when you can just come over here and see them during your scuba dives...and we don't have hammerhead sharks here so not to worry!
