admin — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 13:24:45 +0000

Underwater World Pattaya, visitors are taken on a “voyage to the bottom of the sea”, which begins at the sandy beaches and shallow rock pools at the water’s edge. From here, you descend into a pedestrian tunnel, passing brightly colored corals and all kinds of exotic ocean-dwellers along the way. The tunnel is 100 meter long and is made of 6.4 centimeter thick acrylic. It allows you to witness the homes of great shoals of fish, prowling predators and a host of other creatures that inhabit the ocean depths.

The acrylic underwater passageway is divided into 3 zones. The first part is the “Reef Zone”. This features coral reef and an abundance of colorful fish that are relaxing to watch. The next zone is the “Sharks and Rays”, displaying sharks, sting rays, ray sharks and turtles among other creatures from the sea. The last is the “Shipwrecks Zone” featuring various kinds of fish that are edible.

The aquarium itself houses more than 4,000 marine animals, comprising more than 200 different species from the region as well as some rare creatures from overseas. Top in the Visitors must-see list is the rare shovel nose ray, a hybrid between a shark and a stingray.
