Wreck Diving in Pattaya
The main diving areas around Pattaya are located in what we call the “Far Islands”. These are the second
ring of islands about 20 – 30 kilometers from Pattaya. The islands are controlled by the Thai Navy, and no permanent structures are built there (boat traffic is also at a minimum). These islands include Koh Rin, Koh Man Wichai, Koh Keung Badaan, Koh Hu Chang and Kho Phi. Altogether, we have up to 20 different dive sites. There are many different types of soft and hard corals, and large schools of Jacks, Barracuda and Tuna. Blue spotted Stingrays, Turtles, Porcupine Pufferfish and Moray Eels can be spotted on virtually every dive.
Wreck Diving Cost 3,000 Baht including pickup service, 1 wreck dive, 1 coral dive, professional dive leader, full set of equipment and lunch. Wreck diving require advanced booking, please use contact form.
The highlight of Pattaya and Samae San diving is the two, superb shipwrecks. The HTMS Khram is a new wreck that was recently sunk by the Thai Navy for divers! The Hardeep is a 60 meter long cargo ship sunk in 28 meters during the World War II era. This ship is reasonably intact, and can be navigated from bow to stern entirely on the inside, by divers with the proper training. Both wrecks are ideal for doing InDepth or PSAI Wreck Speciality course or Advanced Diver Speciality. Please note that both wrecks are only suitable for divers with at least Advanced Diver Certification (or any other training agency equivalent), due to the depth limit. Please contact us for more information.
