Porcupinefish, a type of Pufferfish are a regular sight whilst diving in The Andaman Sea. There are over 120 species of Pufferfish in all, and you can easily see several of them when diving at our regular Scubafish dive site, Ko Haa. But everyone’s favourite is the cute and curious Porcupine Puffer. These friendly fish…
On the 12th of October 2016, Scubafish undertook the massive operation of Marine Park clean up.

It’s official! High season 2015-16 just keeps getting even more awesome! After kicking off the season diving with Whalesharks at world famous dive sites Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, we were blown away by the arrival of not one but two Whalesharks on our recent trip to Koh Rok, as well as some stunningly beautiful…

And if for any reason you do genuinely need a plastic bag, take it out with you the next day and use it again. THEN use it to transport your sandy flip-flops back home with you at the end of your holiday. Please help us at Scubafish to keep our sea and island clean and start saying NO to plastic bags.

Trash Hero bottles let you get a much-needed water refill from all around the island, including all 4 Scubafish shops.
