Dive into the heart of marine conservation with our unique course in Thailand, where we explore the transformative power of artificial reefs. Nestled in the vibrant waters of Koh Tao, these man-made wonders are not just diving attractions but lifelines to the underwater world.
From providing crucial habitats for marine species to alleviating pressure on natural reefs, our video takes you on an underwater journey showcasing the construction of these artificial havens, their benefits, and their ecological impact.
These artificial dive sites have significantly benefited the environment and the local community.
1) Taking pressure off some of the most popular dive sites around Koh Tao.
Having more alternative dive sites available when scheduling dive trips means fewer divers on Koh Tao’s popular natural dive sites.
2) Increased the number of suitable scuba training sites for novice divers.
Except for HTMS Sattakut & MV Trident, all Koh Tao’s artificial dive sites are suitable for shallow training dives.
Discover Scuba Diving program and Open Water diver courses benefit with lots of sand for novice divers to swim across as they master buoyancy, avoiding damaging the coral reefs.
3) Provide habitat and act as nurseries for marine life, offering many species a sustainable home.
Artificial reefs have hard surfaces where algae and barnacles can attach to and where corals can grow. They also provide a structure with cracks and holes, offering marine life shelter and places to hide from predators.
4) Increased the amount of coral around Koh Tao's waters through coral propagation programs.
Coral fragments are collected from the ones lying on the ocean floor (corals of opportunity) broken during storms or from vessels anchoring or grounding.
We then transplant them onto the artificial structures that help to re-grow coral fragments.
