In January 2010 the first two bryde whales have been spotted half way between Chumphon Pinnacle and Koh Nan Yuan island. The captain of the Alvaro dive boat reacted fast and turned the boat around quickly. The two whales didn't seem to mind the company of snorkelers around them and stayed a while to feed their curiosity and do some human watching... Bryde Whale sighting in the Gulf of Thailand.

    Whale Shark Sighting

    Just last week we saw a fantastically large whale shark in Chumphon pinnacle! Made the whole trip to Thailand worth it for many of our divers. Whalesharks are regular visitors of the larger pinnacles around Koh Tao and make the island one of the few places in the world, where a scuba diver can get so close to the largest shark in the oceans. In general, whalesharks like divers! They just love to swim through the bubbles and get an extra portion of oxygen. Just last week we saw a fantastically large whale shark in Chumphon pinnacle!

Two Bryde Whales spotted in Koh Tao

Posted on January 10 2010 by admin

Blue Whale sighting on Koh Tao by Alvaro DivingWhen we returned from our morning dive on Chumphon Pinnacle, where we went for an advanced open water diving course, we had a fantastic encounter with two whales. On our way back, towards Koh Nag Yuan, we spotted two huge whales cruising through the blue waters. The captain turned the boat around immediately and we started to slowly follow the whales.
The whales didn’t mind the company and so we tried to jump in the water to see if they would swim off; they didn’t! Victor, one of our diving guests had he’s camera ready and was soon nearby our two new friends. This is the first time bryde whales have been spotted around Koh Tao. The Bryde Whale is the largest mammal on the earth! Here is the Video, enjoy!

 

Many thanks to Victor T. for this great video of the first Bryde Whales in Koh Tao, Thailand

    That’s nothing right, I was in Koh Tao and I seen this mad blue parrotfish, it was crazy!!

  2. will says:

    hey guys, I don’t think that is a blue whale. Check out the dorsal fin, way too big mate. This is a Sei whale. Blue whales usually don’t come into shallow warm seas like this.

  3. scuba-doo says:

    I think it’s not a blue whale, its a bryde’s whale

    I think so they look similar if that was Blue whale maybe something wrong about global warming ….
