'Rubbish Wrecks'
The Gulf of Thailand is littered with wrecks, some interesting dives, some not. Here are some of the rubbish wrecks we’ve found, we keep good records so we’ll never return again by accident!
Gulf of Thailand Wreck Dive List • Small barge close to Koh Tao carrying plastic crates and 1968 Singha beer bottles. Max visibility 2m, max depth 36m • Large wooden cargo vessel, bottom of the wreck 46m, top at 45m, the timbers have rotted away leaving a huge pile of bottles and plates. • Upside down Steel barge east of Samui, not even something to tie onto, and another one 2 miles away. • Scattered remains of a C47 plane covered in nets • Tiny steel freighter carrying bitumen, topside damage looks like she was sunk by surface fire • Bigger steel freighter as above carrying bricks, (actually not a bad dive if it was a bit closer) • Half a wooden fishing boat in 65m • An engine block only in 68m • A small fishing boat covered in nets and fish in 68m. This one gave us a great sonar signature, probably it was all the tiny litle silver fish. I nearly died on this one • Another steel barge in 65m east of Koh Tao • Yet another steel barge west of Koh Tao towards Chumporn • Porta-cabin in 75m, probably pushed off one of the gas rigs nearby
