Diving, the most popular water sport in Thailand, can be just as green. It goes without saying that quality travellers do not litter or pollute the sea and beaches, or take part in activities they believe to be harmful to the country or its peoples. Equally, it is bad for the environment and can be dangerous to injure or to try to take plants, animals or pieces of Thailand's historical monuments as souvenirs. Most diving schools in Thailand are highly environmentally sensitive. Dive boats should not anchor over coral reefs, and when diving , please do not touch or stand on corals, as this kills them.
