Experience Scuba Diving In Thailand This Year

When you have the opportunity to seeLeopard sharks, whale sharks, silvertips, manta rays and year round scuba diving Diving in Thailand really is unmissable. Scuba diving is available on both coasts of Thailand - each complementing the other and permitting diving when the other is unsuitable because of the weather.

Liveaboards and shore based diving from the mainland and the array of minor islands around Thailand provide plenty of marine life and corals plus a few good wrecks.

Dotted with coral reefs as well as deeper offshore pinnacles, it’s not difficult to see Thailand’s popularity among backpackers and members of the dive community alike. Sheltered sandy bays provide the perfect depths for learner divers, while the more advanced diver can visit deeper sites and perhaps even live the diver’s dream of seeing a whale shark or two.

The newly sunk HTMS Khram shipwreck is situated just south of Koh Phi and has soon become popular among local divers. A large amount of marine life has already been attracted to this wreck in a very short period of time.

The Samae San / Sattahip area supplies similar diving conditions, with the added attraction of two large intact shipwrecks. The Petchburi Bremen is an old freighter sunk in 60 feet of water in the Khram Channel (Sattahip). It is home to many Grouper and Barracuda. The Hardeep is a cargo ship sunk in 90 feet during the World War II era. This ship is completely intact, and can be dived from bow to stern entirely inside!!

With a massive hole torn through her belly the King Cruiser sank in less than 60 minutes and supplied the Phuket Diving community, at long last, with her own artificial reef. At 25 meters you’ll find the engine room and car deck. Returning to 18 meters you’ll find the passenger section which has the heads, bar and lots of tables and chairs. Even with a relatively low ceiling it is relatively safe to penetrate as the doors are broken off.

At 20 feet you’ll find the captain’s cabin and wheel house. The reef is teeming with life and its proximity to Shark Point and Anemone Reef has undoubtedly had a lot to do with its sudden population growth. The wreck is an extremely popular dive and considered one of the best in location.

In Shark Island dives range from 28 meters and above at the southern tip to the surface and at the deeper depths you may see Leopard and Reef Sharks. At the shallow end you will find beautiful gardens of vividly colourful corals and anemones and at high tide it is even possible to cross from one side of the southern island to the other. This site supplies a great range of fish including the Blue Ringed Angel, Long Fin Banner, and if you are lucky the odd resident Hawksbill Turtle.

A 3mm shortie or full length suit is usually enough for scuba diving in Thailand.
