History
Koh Chang has long been a fishing and trade stop; much of the island group became Mu Ko Chang National Park in the early 1980s to protect its terrestrial and marine habitats.
Conservation
Operators commonly follow park rules: no anchoring on reefs, limited visitor numbers at some sites, and encouragement to use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce coral stress.

Bring your certification card
Most Adventure Dives require proof of Open Water certification — bring your card or digital proof to speed check-in.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Local reefs are sensitive; use reef-safe SPF and apply before boarding to limit chemical exposure to corals.
Prep for equalization
Practice swallowing and Valsalva before diving — consistent equalization avoids ear pain and aborted descents.
Manage seasickness proactively
If you’re prone to motion sickness, take an antiemetic 1–2 hours before departure and sit mid-boat where motion is gentlest.
Dive certification card & logbook
Needed to verify eligibility and to record Adventure Dive credits.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and fragile corals from harmful chemicals.
