<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Point Nemo, named after the mysterious submarine captain in Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” is an area in the South Pacific Ocean that’s the furthest from any point of land in the world. The name “Nemo” means “no one” in Latin, which perfectly describes this area that’s also called the “Oceanic Pole of Inaccessibility.”&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><img src="https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/giant-stride-media-staging/ca1wmwm8UKvV-shutterstock_1039352764.webp" alt="A beginning dive instruction course"></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Where is Point Nemo?</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Point Nemo is located midway between New Zealand and Cape Horn at the southern tip of Chile. It’s 2,700 kilometers from the closest points of land: Ducie and Pitcairn Island to the North, Maher Island off Antarctica to the South, and the Moto Nui Islet near Easter Island to the Northwest. The closest people to Point Nemo are the astronauts in the International Space Station orbiting 400 km above the Earth.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Though the area is about 34 times larger than France, it hasn’t been explored since 1992, when it was officially discovered through a process of mathematical deduction.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Proximity to Land Means Marine Life</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The closer an area of the ocean is to land masses, the more life it supports. Point Nemo, being so far from the nearest land mass, is also one of the least populated areas by any organisms. This lack of biodiversity combined with its isolated location has led to Point Nemo becoming a graveyard used by the world’s space agencies as a dumping ground for satellites and old decommissioned space stations.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Unlike most of the world's oceans, the waters of Point Nemo are also unnaturally quiet because of the lack of organisms. This makes it an excellent location for studying marine life communication methods and underwater acoustics by visiting marine biologists and scientists.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">There’s no prohibition against visiting the area, Point Nemo is open to anyone who wants to brave the long sea voyage to reach it. However, if you’re interested in seeing the waters of the most inaccessible location on the face of the planet, you’re likely to be disappointed. The weak currents of the area mean there are not enough nutrients flowing through the area for much marine life to survive.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">If you were to dive into the waters of Point Nemo, you'd encounter a colorless and lifeless rock and sand seascape devoid of marine life. When you compare this environment to the waters of Thailand, you'll realize how fortunate Thailand is to have the wealth and intensity of its rich biodiversity.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">﻿</span><img src="https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/giant-stride-media-staging/PSsXvyrGrjqS-thumbnails__0nUvELBT95I0-VanoraLiveaboard.webp" alt="A luxury liveaboard in Thailand"></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Explore the Rich Biodiversity of Thailand’s Waters</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">From the pelagic marine life you'll encounter on trips to the Similan Islands in the Andaman Ocean to the many colorful tropical reefs to explore around the islands in the Gulf of Thailand and Pha Nga Bay, the waters of Thailand are the polar opposite of Point Nemo.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Between the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman Ocean, the waters of Thailand support an entire world of scuba diving and snorkeling industries, including dive shops, scuba courses, day dive boats, and liveaboards.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Book a Dive Class or Trip Through Giant Stride</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">A visit to the Giant Stride website is an introduction to the diving community of Thailand.

<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Liveaboard scuba diving trips offer the chance for divers, both inexperienced and experienced, to enhance their diving skills. This also helps divers cut travel costs and logistics to various dive sites. Divers on liveaboard diving trips will also enjoy the camaraderie of being with fellow diving enthusiasts and share a wide variety of knowledge, experiences, and valuable tips about many aspects of diving.</span></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">We’ll offer a tutorial for divers preparing for their first liveaboard scuba trip. This will allow novice divers to maximize their liveaboard experience.</span></div><div><br></div><div><img src="https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/giant-stride-media-staging/KFIhqLS1bpeL-shutterstock_553362991.webp" alt="A couple enjoys a liveaboard diving trip"></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">How to Prevent Seasickness</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Let's start our discussion with the problem of seasickness. Divers with little boat experience, especially those used to shore diving, may become seasick.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Many people find that seasickness improves with time and with anti-nausea drugs like Dramamine. Scopolamine is also effective; however, it comes as a patch that needs to be applied to the area behind your ear and is, unfortunately, not waterproof. It should only be utilized when you’ve finished diving for the day. You can ease your discomfort by ensuring you're well-hydrated, well-rested, and avoiding alcohol before preparing to dive.</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Onboard Food and Drink</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The quality of food and drinks plays a role for many divers when choosing a boat. The intensity of scuba diving highlights the importance of good food on a liveaboard.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">As your nitrogen levels decrease, you will have many breaks between dives. Delicious meals and snacks are often served during surface intervals on liveaboard trips, and sharing dive stories adds to the fun. Many captains boast about their chefs' skills and delicious food</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">﻿</span><img src="https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/giant-stride-media-staging/hEMEMxcR5L8c-shutterstock_1185261031.webp" alt="Liveaboards offer diving equipment to rent"></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Equipment and Courses Offered</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Other factors important in boat selection include the dive courses, the quality of rental gear, and the availability of Nitrox.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Many boats promote their berths by highlighting opportunities to enhance your PADI certification with onboard courses taught by their dive crew.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The quality of the onboard rental equipment can be another asset. Many divers rent their dive gear, only bringing personal masks, fins, and snorkels, unlike their more experienced counterparts, who often bring their own BCD and computer. The presence of high-quality equipment is a powerful selling point for diving.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The availability of Nitrox on board is another plus to a dive boat’s reputation. Nitrox is a mixed gas that contains a higher percentage of oxygen. This enables extended dives, shortened surface breaks, and reduced risk of decompression sickness. Its use is restricted to trained divers who prefer boats equipped with Nitrox.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Fees, Tips and Extra Charges</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">You should plan to bring additional funds, ideally in cash. You'd usually receive this information from the boat at the time of booking, so it's best to arrive prepared. Marine park entry, fuel surcharges, dive courses, and crew tips are all potential uses for carrying extra money, the exact use depending on the boat's journey and the weather.</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">A Day of Diving</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">A typical liveaboard day begins with a light breakfast, followed by a morning dive. Then, your day mostly consists of alternating between diving, resting, and eating. You can plan on 3-4 dives per day, including a night dive. Divers frequently read, watch videos, play board games, or journal during surface intervals. Boats have Wi-Fi access, allowing people to use their devices.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Liveaboard Etiquette</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Liveaboard etiquette involves being a guest that is well behaved. Keep your possessions in your locker organized, be mindful of noise levels and considerate of others. Treat crew members respectfully, tip well, and offer to help when required.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">To maintain consistent diving etiquette, always dive with an experienced partner and treat the natural world with respect; avoid touching or disturbing anything. Always be honest about your diving skills and dive only where you feel most confident.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><h2><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Find the Ideal Liveaboard Experience in Thailand&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Choose your preferred liveaboard from the wide selection of quality dive companies available on the Giant Stride website. There, you can find a variety of day trips and certification course options that cater to your needs.

<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Every time a diver slips beneath the waves, they enter a realm where different rules apply. Water, especially deep open water, creates a unique environment that affects how we move, breathe, and interact with our surroundings. While most experienced divers focus on the incredible marine life they'll encounter, new divers must learn basic underwater physics of diving to truly have an extraordinary and rewarding experience.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">But don’t worry, this isn't about complex equations or scientific theory; rather, it's about grasping the simple principles that make diving possible. When you understand how pressure affects your body, why you float or sink, and how your equipment works with these forces, you become a more confident and capable diver.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Let's break down how scuba diving works, keeping it practical and relevant to your underwater adventures without getting too technical.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><img src="https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/giant-stride-media-staging/FfDGoyh4ioeE-shutterstock_190648553.webp" alt="Rows of scuba tanks and buoyancy control devices rest on a boat"></div><div><br></div><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">How Does Scuba Diving Work: The Basics</span></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">At its core, scuba diving is about breathing underwater safely, and for that you need proper equipment. Your breathing equipment does one main job: it delivers air at exactly the right pressure for whatever depth you're at. Think of it like this - the deeper you go, the more water is pressing on your body. Your scuba system automatically adjusts to match this pressure, making it feel as natural as breathing on land.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">This all happens in your regulator, that mouthpiece you breathe through. It takes the high-pressure air from your tank and converts it to a pressure you can comfortably breathe, automatically adjusting as you change depths. This simple but ingenious system is what makes modern diving possible.</span></div><div><br></div><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Water Pressure</span></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">While submerged, the water around you creates a lot of pressure that increases the deeper you go. Just 10 meters down, you're feeling twice the pressure as you would at the surface. Your scuba tank starts with highly compressed air (around 200 bar), and your regulator adjusts this pressure so you can breathe comfortably at any depth.&nbsp;</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">But this pressure affects everything in diving, from how much air you use to how your wetsuit feels. Understanding scuba diving pressure helps you manage your air consumption better and makes you more aware of your body's needs underwater.</span></div><div><br></div><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Floating and Sinking: Finding the Sweet Spot</span></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Perfect buoyancy - that otherworldly state where you neither sink nor float - comes from balancing your weight with your buoyancy control device (that inflatable jacket you see divers wearing). Its mechanics are simple: add air to go up, release air to go down. The trick is that this balance changes throughout your dive as your suit and air spaces compress at depth and expand as you ascend.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Mastering buoyancy takes practice, but understanding the physics behind it speeds up the learning process. With experience, you’ll learn how your body behaves differently at various depths so you can anticipate and adjust to be in the perfect position.</span></div><div><br></div><div><img src="https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/giant-stride-media-staging/ugPIdPC80D7Q-shutterstock_1832012236.webp" alt="A diving instructor teaches about how pressure affects masks while in a training pool"></div><div><br></div><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Your Air while Under Pressure</span></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The deeper you go, the more your air compresses. This same principle explains why you use more air the deeper you dive, and why slow, controlled ascents are so important. Your body also absorbs more nitrogen at depth, which is why dive computers help you track your time and depth limits.</span></div><div><br></div><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">These changes in pressure while scuba diving also affect how long your air supply lasts. The typical pressure of the air in a scuba tank might start high, but remember that depth affects consumption, so plan accordingly for a safe stay underwater.</span></div><div><br></div><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Putting It All Together</span></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">This overview of the basic physics principles for scuba should be enough to get you started before your first dive. Understanding them helps you conserve air, maintain better buoyancy, and dive more safely. It's the difference between just following instructions and truly embracing what you're doing underwater.</span></div><div><br></div><h2><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Learning Through Experience</span></h2><div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">While books and blogs help explain these concepts, nothing beats hands-on experience. When you take a </span><a href="https://giantstridetravel.com/service/course" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;">diving course in Thailand</a><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">, these principles become second nature through practice at some of the world’s best dive sites.
