"The new dive site is a cave under Koh Waen that was the premier location for undersea wedding activities about 20 years ago. It is named Black Pearl Cave because it requires visitors to dive in the dark to reach the precious destination," said Manote Wongsureerat, chief of the marine national park. Visitors must pass an advanced scuba diver course and obtain entry permission from the national park for the sake of conservation.
