Scuba Wreck Diving in Thailand

Southeast Asia has a huge choice of great dive sites and Thailand boasts some of the best Wreck Diving in the Asian Continent. Scuba Diving Wrecks are available for divers in Phuket, Pattaya, Samui and many of the Thai Islands both in the Andaman Sea and also The Gulf of Thailand. Scuba Wreck Diving has become a very popular adventure for divers in Thailand, mainly because of the easy access to sunken World War 11 Shipwrecks, passenger ferries, airplanes, jetskis and small fishing boats.

The King Cruiser Wreck is one of the best known Shipwrecks in Phuket and on the fourth of May in 1997 this 85 meter catamaran passenger ferry wandered off course and hit the Anemone Reef near to the Phi Phi Islands.

This ripped one of the twin hulls wide open but with no loss of life, the King Cruiser sunk within an hour of the accident and has become a huge artificial reef in the clear blue waters close to Phuket. With many decks, large open passages and depths that range between twelve and thirty meters, it's an ideal shipwreck dive in Thailand for all adventurous scuba divers.

Big Blue Wreck near Koh Samui - In April of 2009 a wooden overnight ferry that would transport passengers and goods from Koh Tao Island to Chumphon City sank in rough waves and strong wind. The boat sank slowly allowing all the occupants to be rescued.

Without knowing the actual name of this boat we have named this large blue nightboat simply the “Big Blue Wreck”. More information needs to be gathered and a survey to be conducted before the wreck will be opened up to Big Blue Tech customers.

Pattaya Vertical Wreck - Easily Pattaya’s most famous dive site, the Vertical wreck has attracted thousands of avid Scuba divers from around the world to experience the wonder of swimming around this unique underwater structure.

Prior to its’ sinking on 25th August 1996 the ship, originally build in Japan and called the ‘Koho Maru 5’ lead a most unremarkable life carrying LPG from one destination to another.
