Udforsk Laos
Laos er måske nok landfast, men det byder på spændende ferskvandsdykning for eventyrlystne Explorers. Floder, reservoirer og oversvømmede stenbrud nær Vientiane og andre bycentre giver rolige omgivelser til rekreativ træning og afslappede dyk. Sigtbarheden varierer med årstiden og er ofte bedst i de tørre måneder, mens de varme tropiske temperaturer giver mulighed for behagelig dykning året rundt.
Mere erfarne dykkere tiltrækkes af Laos' dramatiske karstlandskaber, hvor nedsænkede huler og kildevæld skaber muligheder for grotter og teknisk udforskning under behørig vejledning. I bjergrige områder kan det være nødvendigt at tage højde for højden. Selvom Laos ikke er en almindelig dykkerdestination, belønner det nysgerrige dykkere med rolige dykkersteder, slående kalkstenslandskaber og en sjælden chance for at dykke i hjertet af Sydøstasiens barske indre.
