Found the WW2 submarine USS Lagarto in Thailand

Welcome to the MV Trident Website | Technical Diving in Thailand

MV Trident is the only dedicated technical diving operator on the island of Koh Tao, Thailand.

Wreck and technical diving is what we do to try and make a living, and when we’re not on wreck diving expeditions, we’re either carrying out research to locate more wrecks or training new tech divers and instructors.

Wreck and Tech Dive Expeditions and Training in the Gulf of Thailand

We run regular live-aboard diving expeditions throughout the Gulf of Thailand, full details of which are given on our technical diving trips page.

Trident’s previous wreck diving expeditions have located many significant ancient, WW2 and post-WW2 wrecks with highlights including the Balao class submarine USS Lagarto, the Tottori Maru ‘Hellship’, the Seacrest Drill-Ship and many more. You can read detailed information on all the wrecks and see images of the dives in our Gulf of Thailand wreck diving section.

We also provide a full range of technical diving training, ranging from open circuit tech diving courses through to tech instructor training, cave and cavern diving and CCR (rebreather) training.

During early September 2010 we’re running an exciting back to back combination of technical diving trips, combining wreck diving and cave diving.

First we’ll be making a three day technical diving charter aboard the MV Trident departing from Koh Tao on 10th September. We’ll visit the impressive wreck of the HTMS Phangan (Thai Military vessel) in 60M of blue water(29C), plus dive the nearby coastal tanker. We’ll be making two dives per day, supporting both open circuit and ccr divers. Trimix and nitrox are blended on board.

Returning to Koh Tao after three days of wreck diving, we’ll then transfer to the mainland for a 2 day cave diving expedition visiting nearby Khao Sok National Park. The park has some of the most spectacular scenery in Thailand – limestone cliffs, dense jungle and an enormous lake.

The giant 165 sq kilometer lake was formed 30 years ago by the construction of a river dam, flooding several villages, large areas of valley and forest and many limestone cave systems.
During the two days we’ll dive our favorite sites of Temple Cave, Par Daeng (Red Cave) and ‘Craig’s  Cave’. There’s also an opportunity to get some depth in a dive we refer to as ‘The Forest dive’, plus if the group are up for it, we can dedicate some time to exploring new cave dive sites.

These back to back these trips combine fantastic wreck diving, cave diving and stunning scenery making an unforgettable diving experience, fitting a lot of diverse technical diving into a short itinerary.
