Whale Shark Program

As the dive centre located closest to Richelieu Rock, Blue Guru on Koh Phra Thong is keen to do everything they can to protect this world famous dive site’s most awesome visitor – the whale shark. Whale sharks are the world’s largest fish & are docile plankton eaters, so diving or snorkelling with these magnificent creatures is an amazing experience.

Unfortunately whale sharks are an endangered species. More research & action is needed to monitor their migrations & prevent extinction before it’s too late. Blue Guru is a registered operator and proud supporter of PADI's Whale Shark Project.
