islands. The innovative 'weddings underwater' first launched in 1997, is now an
annual Valentine's Day event which attracts more people every year, who sign
marine marital commitments in Scuba gear at a depth of 12 meters. This ceremony is held for the
first time as a part of the Underwater Wedding Ceremony in order to fully
complete the Thai traditional wedding ceremony. This tradition is believed to
bring peace and long lasting relationship to the couples.
The Underwater marriage
registration will be held 12 meters under the sea in front of Kradan
island.
The brides and grooms, separated will dive down
into the blue sea, filled with colorful fish school, to the white sand ocean
floor. There, they will meet with the district officer who will witness and
approve their marriage certificate. All prospective newly-weds holding an
international divers license may participate.
