750 divers break world record off Koh Tao coast

SURAT THANI: -- Thailand broke the world record for the largest mass dive yesterday when 750 divers took part in an event off the coast of Koh Tao, an event which the provincial authority hopes will put the southern island firmly on the world diving map.

Over 10,000 tourists flocked to the island yesterday to witness the event, which was promoted by the Koh Tao Diving Association and local administrative authorities.

The 750 divers had gathered from Thailand and around the world to participate the event, which marks the biggest mass dive on record, breaking the record previously achieved by Australia two years ago when 590 divers gathered for a similar event.

Mr. Wichit Srisang, head of the Koh Tao Diving Association, expressed confidence that the event would help turn the island into one of the world’s most important diving locations.

Although included in yesterday’s event were a ‘Miss Dive Shop’ contest, longboat races and demonstrations from the Royal Thai Navy.

With a little mixing of the news stories, it's easy to do the math.... and agreeably, at a 10 to 1 ratio, things should be very pleasant for people on Valentine's Day in Koh Tao. :o

and also, Happy Valentine's Day to all Thaivisa members... :D
