Wreck Diving in the Gulf of Thailand

Whale shark diving in Koh Tao Koh Tao offers about 25 dive sites in close proximity to the island. They feature mostly rock formations and pinnacles, as well as shallow reefs and coral gardens. Koh Tao has a wide variety of marine life ranging from colorful reef fish right through to whale sharks. Maximum depth 45 metres.

We visit some of these sites during the beginning stages of our technical diving courses, but the reason we dive dive here is we have access to some of the best wreck diving in Asia.

Over the past few years, MV Trident has found dozens of wrecks in the Gulf and Thailand, and we continue to do so. Here’s a small selection of what we can offer - click to read more details and see images. (Not every wreck which we find is worth returning to, we’ve listed some of those on our ‘Rubbish Wrecks’ page).

Each of these wrecks can be visited as part of one of our three Gulf of Thailand Wreck Diving Expeditions - North, East and Southern routes:
