03 · Andaman

Koh Lipe

Tarutao Marine Park — Andaman

Thailand's southernmost dive island, sitting on the edge of the Tarutao Marine Park. Quiet reefs, pinnacles, and almost no crowds underwater.

04 · Andaman

Koh Phi Phi

Krabi — Andaman

Iconic limestone cliffs rising from turquoise water. Beneath the surface: walls, swim-throughs and the famous Bida Nok and Bida Nai pinnacles.

05 · Andaman

Koh Lanta

Krabi — Andaman

The launch point for Hin Daeng and Hin Muang — two remote pinnacles that rank among Thailand's best dives, with regular pelagic encounters.

Explore →

06 · Gulf

Koh Tao

Surat Thani — Gulf of Thailand

The world's busiest dive-training island, and for good reason: warm, clear, sheltered water and a generous spread of accessible sites.

Explore →

07 · Gulf

Koh Chang

Trat — Eastern Gulf

Thailand's second-largest island, framed by jungle-covered mountains. The dive scene focuses on the HTMS Chang wreck and the Koh Rang archipelago.

Explore →

08 · Gulf

Pattaya

Chonburi — Eastern Gulf

Pattaya's near-shore islands hide one of the country's richest wreck networks — five accessible wrecks within an hour of the marina.

Explore →

Immersion

Granite pinnacles, soft coral pinnacles and pelagic crossings in the Andaman Sea. The Similan Islands remain one of Asia's most photogenic dive grounds.

A full day at Richelieu Rock — Jacques Cousteau's favorite Thai pinnacle.
