Tour Program

Sail Rock This is probably one of the finest sites in the Gulf of Siam. It is a wall-dive surrounded by a number of smaller but still impressive pinnacles. The southeast face has a natural chimney eroded in the rock from 6m to 18m depth that you can dive through. At the eastern end of the wall you can often see Great Barracudas patrolling the depths. Whale Shark are often spotted here. At least two dives are recommended.
Marine Park The legally protected group of about 50 isles offer good diving and unspoiled nature in the most northern part. Hin Nippon and Koh Wao are the spots to be named. The rocks are dominated by a gradually sloping reef of healthy coral laminates. Jacks, tuna and juvenile Yellowtail Barracuda are familiar passers-by. At least two dives are recommended.
Samran Pelagics enthusiasts will find this site terrific, as you encounter school after school of Great Barracuda, Threadfin Trevally, Big-eyed Jacks and many more. There are three main pinnacles - the top of tallest is 12m below surface - plus a mountainous terrain of scattered rocks large enough to swim around and explore. Two dives are recommend; it is suitable for supervised and experienced divers only.
Koh Tao
The dive spots around the turtle island offer a wide range of underwater seascapes:
Chumphon Pinnacles Probaly Tao's most impressive site. The site consists of four underwater pinnacles; the highest peaks are 16m below surface. Large schools of Great Barracuda, tuna, mackarel are frequent visitors. Whale Sharks, with accompanying Striped Remoras, are often sighted here during the season's later months.
Green Rock Divers come here for the tremendous selection of adventurous swimthroughs provided by large archways, caverns, caves and crevices which cut through Green Rock. This is as well a good place for see Green and Hawksbill Turtles.
Nang Yuan Following the reef east, you approach a number of small caves and overhangs; these serve as shelters for many Blue-spot Rays. Beyond the boulder corals is a shallow sloping reef formed of table staghorns and various leaf corals. The side is good for night dives.
White Rock A very enjoyable dive, suitable for both novice and experienced divers. The site consists of two submerged pinnacles, the higher of which is covered by only 2m of water.
Red Rock Two large rocky outcrops - the larger standing 10m proud of the water. There are many different species of fish along the reef: Titan Triggerfish, Blue-ringed Angelfish, large Parrotfish, fusiliers all abound. Drift dives are possible here.
Southwest Pinnacles These three submerged pinnacles represent a series of short wall-dives. Away from the rock are many pelagics of all sizes. Between the rocks are many bushy black corals sea whips and gorgonian Seafans.
