Thailand Diving
A few suggestions for where to dive in the Thailand:
  • Similan Islands - Rated up there with the world's best dive destinations and certainly Thailands diving crown jewel. Crystal clear water and a variety of underwater topography that most dive destinations cannot offer. A liveaboard is the ideal way to see all the best sites plus Koh Bon, Koh Tachai and whale sharks at Richelieu Rock. Underwater photographers will need macro and wide angle lenses on these trips.
  • Hin Daeng, Hin Muang - Red Rock and Purple Rock, two deep pinnacles frequented by sharks, manta rays and huge schools of fish. Liveaboard trips last 2/3 days and often include dives at Phi Phi Islands, Koh Haa Cave, Shark Point and King Cruiser Wreck. A great alternative or complement to a Similan liveaboard with really varied diving.
  • Phi Phi Islands - the old backpacker hangout has loads of quality dive sites around stunning karst limestone rock formations. Beautiful soft coral. Leopard sharts, blacktip sharks and sea turtles are all common.
  • Koh Tao - Off the east coast of Thailand in the gulf of Thailand. It hasn't got the visibility or the diversity of the west coast dive sites but it's a great destination for lots cheap dives and dive training. Chumphon Pinnacle gets regular whaleshark sightings.
