Pattaya has its share of colourful coral reefs, but one of the main scuba attractions for visiting divers are the sunken shipwrecks within easy reach of Pattaya Port. Shipwreck Diving in Pattaya is becoming a popular dive destination for reacreational and technical scuba divers and many of the Wreck Dives require special dive skills and wreck diving equipment for underwater exploration and/or wreck penetration.

Scuba Diving in Pattaya is not just about ships, though there are some great shipwrecks that have been intentionally sunk and they have obvious attractions as dive sites of archaeological and historical interest. Though most of the wrecks in Pattaya are metal-hulled vessels, there are also wooden ships dating back hundreds of years.
Wreck Diving in Pattaya offers divers a variety of scuba adventures because the wrecks form artificial reefs which can attract all sorts of coral and aquatic life. After a period of time, the structure may become encrusted with marine growth and smaller fish will tend to exploit the safety and shelter of the the nooks and crannies that are offered by sunken wrecks. Pattaya Wrecks tend to be inhabited by shoals of larger fish, such as Barracuda, Trevaly's, Fuseliers and there is a large resident Turtle which is regularly seen on the bow of the HTMS Khram Shipwreck.
