Though blackwater diving has long been popular in Hawaii, Florida, and the Philippines, blackwater diving in Thailand has begun gaining traction.

Blackwater diving is an extraordinary new way of night diving.
You will dive on top of very deep water with no other reference than a downline fitted with powerful lights. Blackwater dives give us the opportunity to encounter marine life never seen on usual dives, such as all types of larvae and baby fish, crabs or shrimps still floating mid-water until they are strong enough to settled down on the reef or deep sea creatures who will never visit a reef...

The Similan Islands are a well-known diving destination for macro and pelagic life, but we discovered last season that it also offers spectacular blackwater diving. The Smiling Seahorse is a liveaboard particularly geared towards underwater photographers.
It's the first liveaboard in Thailand offering blackwater dives on every cruise to explore the larval and juvenile “little monsters” of the Andaman Sea as well as dedicated blackwater diving cruises with daily blackwater dives.
