Underwater-Wedding on Koh Tao Thailand – The Preparations
For those whom marriage itself isn’t exciting enough, there is always a way to top things up a bit. Nadine and Nico did just that when they decided to marry in Thailand. And let alone that being exciting, they had to top it up again and got married underwater! On December 24th, on bright sunny day, Nadine and Nico got married at Big Bubble Dive Resort in Koh Tao. The day was made by god and guarded by angels, everything went smooth as planed; now may they happily life ever after…
Here are some pictures taken during the time of preparation and the morning before we went diving.
Lots of people chose, expensive cars like Rolls Royce or Bentleys to go to their wedding, others even get nostalgic and ride on horse and wagon to church; not so Nadine and Nico, they choose to marry underwater and that their ride should be the dive boat of Big Bubble! Enjoy some funny pictures of the ride to the first ever underwater wedding of Big Bubble Dive Resort. We all enjoyed this underwater wedding so much that we decided to make it part of our program. So, if YOU would like to get married under water, contact Big Bubble and we will arrange what ever is required for you!
For those whom marriage alone isn’t exciting enough, there is always a way to top things up a bit. Nadine and Nico did just that when they decided to marry not only in Thailand, but also to get married under water! To get married by itself is something so special that it has to be shown to the world and that had to be done in a special way! Both being qualified PADI Scuba Divers, found the idea of getting an underwater wedding more appealing than another idea they had. On December 24th, because x-mas alone on one day, once again isn’t enough for Nadine and Nico, the two got married under water at Big Bubble Dive Resort in Koh Tao.
In the morning, eyes still small, realizing the importance of the day, everybody gathers at Big Bubble dive Resort in Chalok baan Kao. There’s a lot to be done and to be prepared for Nadine and Nico’s underwater wedding.
Finally arriving on the dive boat, the photo and video shooting sessions go on. Our wedding couple have become TV stars. On the short ride to the dive site where the underwater wedding is about to take place, is chill-out time.
Heads down under, the action may begin. Nadine and Nico are getting married and Big Bubble Dive Resort is having it’s first underwater wedding; everybody is excited, not only the couple that is about to get married.
Like on every wedding, there has to be a big party, and this one was huge! At the Rasta Bar in Chalok baan Kao, just opposite of Big Bubble, the underwater wedding celebration went on until the early morning hours.
And at the end we all thought that it was such a great and memorable day, that we just want to do it again! Not with Nadine and Nico though, we hope they stay happily together ever after, but if you want to get married once – and you want to do something really, really special, talk to us and let us arrange the most important day of your life for you.
Big Bubble can also arrange a photographer or even an underwater videographer to produce a really cool marriage video and some great shots for the family album. Have a look at the video short version of Nadine and Nicos underwater wedding.

Underwater Wedding on Koh Tao Thailand – The Marine Marriage
During the past decade scuba diving has worldwide become a most popular recreational sport with a steady growing rate. Now, while horse riders marry on horse backs and golfers marry in golf carts, why not marry under water if scuba diving is your both’ hobby? Nadine and Nico wanted to do just that and found with Big Bubble a Dive Resort who was willing to go for it. We have always been eager to try out new stuff and this sounded exciting; a Marine Marriage! Enjoy some underwater pictures made by Sandra Slade of Big Bubbles first Underwater Wedding
Underwater Wedding on Koh Tao Thailand – The Wedding Party
While an underwater wedding is a lot more fun than any other wedding we’ve heard of, it also makes thirsty… very thirsty! And like any other wedding an underwater wedding also requires an appropriate party. Nadine and Nico’s party wasn’t held under water though; because of all the tank filling and Mio participating on the party, we’ve decided to move the party to the Rasta Bar. Enjoy some party pictures at the Rasta Bar in Chalok baan Kao, opposite of Big Bubble Dive Resort.
Scuba Diving is superb, all around the island of Koh Tao! The water is warm all year around, and even if it rains,that doesn’t bother us underwater. The visibility around Koh Tao is between 10 and 30+ meters most of the time and so you will have a good chance of shooting great underwater pictures. If you haven’t tried scuba diving yet, no problem! Koh Tao offers you the very best chance to learn to dive!
Meet our “Big Boat”! To be on a small dive boat, cramped up, together with 30 other divers and no shade, can diminish the the best dive! When we designed our dive boat we thought about all that! Our divers have enough space to gear up their diving equipment and a large sun deck to relax on when we are on the way to the dive sites and between two dives. Fresh water, fruits, cookies, coffee and tea are available at all times, free of charge.
Here are some pictures of beaches and landscapes of the island Koh Tao. See some stunning views over the Gulf of Thailand, enjoy white sandy beaches with natural shades of palm trees and mangroves. CAUTION! Be aware; these pictures are highly addictive and we are not taking any responsibility for sleepless nights, weird dreams or any losses of mind or money, after viewing this content!
Scuba diving is for sure the most popular sport on the island of Koh Tao, the scuba paradise, in the Gulf of Thailand. Thousands of people visit Koh Tao every year with one purpose in mind: Learn to Dive! Scuba diving courses are cheaper on Koh Tao than anywhere else in the world and diving is a lot of fun! Check out some of our fellow divers here.
The Big Bubble Dive Center in Koh Tao has been moved from its former location, next to the Babaloo Bar and resides today proudly in the center of Chalok baan Kao. Our dive resort now has two air-conditioned classrooms, a large lobby and a comfortable equipment area. Here are some pictures of the new dive shop in Koh Tao.
