Thai Beaches – Ao Nang Beach – Sunset – Evening – Krabi – Thailand – Praias da Tailandia
Anoitecendo na praia de Ao Nang, em Krabi, Tailandia.Um paraiso.Ao Nang is a central point of the coastal province of Krabi, Thailand. The town consists chiefly of a main street, which is dominated by restaurants, pubs, shops and other commerce aimed at tourists. The main beach is used by sunbathers to a certain extent, but there are hundreds of longtail boats which offer access to other beaches on the mainland and on nearby islands.
There are a number of scuba diving centres, most of which offer basic diving courses. The islands outside Ao Nang are relatively easy to access and uncrowded compared to many of the diving sites around Phi Phi Island. Climbing is another activity widely available through centres in Ao Nang, although most of the climbs are actually in the areas around the Railay, Tonsai and Phra Nang beaches.
The main beach at Ao Nang is the main departure point for boats to a number of places, including the nearby resort of Railay (or Rai Leh), which cannot be accessed by road, Poda Island and Chicken Island.See
Fossil Shell Beach (Thai Su-san Hoi, literally “Seashell Graveyard”). Some 7 km west of Ao Nang, this mildly traplike tourist attraction has slates of compressed 40 million year old shellfish, which bear not a small resemblance to concrete. There’s also a small grubby museum and a huge slew of gift shops. Entry is a steep 200 baht for foreigners – but only 20 baht for Thais. This Tourist Trap is simply not worth the 200 Baht you have to pay as tourists unless maybe if you are a geology student.
Nopparat Thara Beach. Picturesque beach at the western tip of Ao Nang, zoned as a national park. During low tide you can walk up to some of the nearby craggy limestone islands. However ask the locals if it is ‘jellyfish season’ before plunging in if you are the only one getting ready to take a dip.Rock Climbing
Climbing can be arranged through Ao Nang agencies who will arrange transfers, lunch, and as much climbing as your limbs can handle – alternatively, simply wander over to Rai Leh or Ton Sai and organize an introductory course yourself.
Ao Nang Climbers, [www.aonangclimbers.com]. Will give you all the information and courses from beginner to expirienced climber; children are very welcome.
[edit] Scuba diving
Most of the dive shops offer a very similar price for the dive courses and dive trips. You may get a slight discount if you are a group of 4 but not much more than 10%. Sites visited daily include the local islands in Ao Nang bay, Phi Phi Marine National Park, the King Cruiser Wreck site and Shark Point Marine sanctuary. It’s now also possible to do a one day safari by speedboat to Hin Daeng and Hin Muang for the chance to see whale sharks and manta rays, or to do some spectacular cavern diving at the 5 islands of Ko Ha Yai. However speed boats are not the most comfortable way to travel unless the sea is very calm and there can be problems finding shade. Some of the more popular dive sites can become very crowded in the high season

Squid Run at La Jolla Shores
Groups of squid were mating everywhere we looked, and squid egg casings already obscured the sand bottom. Furthermore, a variety of fishes and other animals including bat rays, thornback rays, sheep crabs and sea lions were feeding on the squid. Talk about a wild scene. Of course, there were scenes like the one we were witnessing all over Southern California that night, as the La Jolla Submarine Canyon is only one of any number of sites where market squid gather to mate during typical …

Diving with Mom
My Mom and Dad came out to San Diego from Boulder for a conference, and decided to join me for a dive in the cove. Although my Mom was a bit nervous about diving in and around kelp, she braved it well and loved ever minute of the dive, in fact you can see her smiling with her hand and even dancing toward the end of the dive. Not my best video work… but it sure was nice to dive with my parents!!! Hope you enjoy the dive.

Dive Travel The Famous Kelp Forest and Giant Sea Bass La Jolla, San Diego, CA
GRK-DVD-TKF – On this dive adventure, we travel to sunny San Diego to dive the famous Kelp Forest in La Jolla Cove.
The Kelp Forest stretches along the southern coast of California. La Jolla Cove is one of the few places in the San Diego area that features “clear” underwater visits year round.
It’s the perfect place for snorkeling and viewing ocean life. Visibility is about 30 feet. The cove is protected from fishing and kelp harvesting and is maintained as a marine sanctuary. In unprotected areas, the kelp is harvested to make vitamins.
We also dive with giant Black Sea Bass, only native to that region in this cove. These giant Sea Bass range in size from 60 to 300 lbs, with the largest growing up to 500 lbs. While there, we offer a mini-tribute both to a fish and to a man.
We interview long time native, Rod Watkins, NAUI instructor and owner of Scuba San Diego, who tells about a special friend of divers named “Blacky,” a giant Sea Bass about 300 lbs in size, who would swim up to greet divers and allow them to pet him. Unfortunately, a ruthless diver with a spear gun killed him, even though Blacky was in the protected waters of La Jolla Cove. Our tribute is also to a very special man, Steve Irwin, the famous Crocodile Hunter who was loved the world over.
Also, in San Diego, we encounter one of the area’s largest concentrations of protected seals sleeping on the shoreline. As usual, Dive Travel fi rst takes you on a citywide tour of San Diego to show you some of the various attractions and the hospitality this southern California city has to offer divers and visitors.

Giant Black Sea Bass at La Jolla Cove
Some Black Sea Bass we saw when SCUBA diving off La Jolla Cove. San Diego, CA.
The Black Sea Bass were hunted to endangered status due to the fact they have no real natural predators, are rather slow moving and curious. They tended to be easy for fisherman and spear fisherman to catch, and this resulted in the decimation of their population in the waters along the California coast. In the early 1990’s, the California Department of Fish and Game listed them as a protected species. As a result of it now being illegal to kill these fish in California waters, their population is slowly starting to bounce back.
