| Research Abstract |
Through a case study of diving tourism in Thailand, this research illustrates the risk perception of diving guides.
As it requires human beings to stay underwater for a long time, scuba diving is also an activity inherently dangerous. Therefore, unlike other tourist activities, divers need to pay much attention to safety and risk management. Usually, it is difficult for most divers to manage various risk factors during diving activities on their own account.
The scuba diving industry commercializes risk management practices represented in the necessary education of divers. In addition to entertaining customers, the diving industry makes profits out of both providing educational opportunities for divers and selling diving-related qualifications, required for anyone participating in a diving tour. Such characteristics of diving industry make diving guides to be more conscious of their responsibility on accident (injury) risk management rather than ecological risk management.
