Ko Similan Warnings and Dangers

If you are kind who knows that you will get seasick, do not eat too much and take seasickness pills before you get on the boat. I only got seasickness once before although I been on many such trips. However, the water was choppy and the journey was slow and long to the islands, I got seasick on the first day. It was only after the first snorkelling that I felt better, as all my breakfast came out. Luckily, I was fine after that for the rest of the journey.

It is very important to follow some basic rules when snorkeling or scuba diving in these waters. I could summarize all the norms in two: do not touch and do not take away anything! Divers must be very careful no to touch the bottom of the sea with the fins: corals are delicate creatures and even a small cloud of sand can be lethal. It is also very important not to take away anything from the beaches.
