During April-May 2010 the water has been unusually warm. My computer (Mares Nemo) recorded a bottom temp of 34c on Saturday May 23 at about 15m. Two other divers had 32 and 33 each. Regardless it was hot! The pictures at the link below indicate the extent of damage at Shark Fin. This site is dived from Pattaya.
What have others noticed in different parts of Thailand lately (Koh Tao/Samui, Phuket, Krabi...). Pics welcomed!
By showing this I am hoping to educate those not familiar with the problem of elevated water temps over prolonged periods of time and learn more from our community.
Hopefully, the situation will reverse and happier pictures will be posted in the months to come.
