2 Dives - Scuba Fun Dive Trip | Pattaya

THE PATTAYA FAR ISLANDS: KOH PHAI, KOH KLUNG BADAN, KOH MAN WHICHAI, KOH RIN There are many reasons to love the Pattaya far island dive sites, For one thing, they are made up of six main islands and several smaller ones approx 15 km away, offering variety in dive typography and aquatic life. Another thing is they are only 1 hour 30 minutes away from Pattaya Beach. These 3 main islands include Koh Rin, Koh Phai, Koh Man Wichai, Koh Klueng Badan, and the 2 smaller Thai islands of Koh Hoo Chang and Koh Luem. HTMS Khram shipwreck dive site is also located out at the far islands. Koh Rin and Koh Manwichai is our first choice for coral diving trips in this area and also the best dive sites to see Sharks In Pattaya! THE PATTAYA NEAR ISLANDS: KOH SAK, KOH LARN, KOH KHROK Similarly to the far islands, three near islands are 7 km off Pattaya beach, approx 45 mins away. This divine area offers no less than seven reef dive sites, as well as two shipwrecks. Our Pattaya Near Islands are Koh Sak, Koh Larn, and Koh Khrok. The shipwrecks are HTMS Kut and HTMS Mataphon. All the Near Islands are great to See Local Sea Turtles. The corals are in excellent condition generally, although visibility can vary. Plenty of marine life is around for the finding. Koh Sak near island services local tourist trips and sees more boat traffic than other areas. Truly a shame because the coral and macro diving here can be brilliant, but the site is simply too busy to use some days. The Near Island of Koh Larn and Koh Sak offers great protection during monsoon months. The strong southern winds don’t enter the bays here, which are when they are most visited. However, during good weather and a flat sea, we explore the outer islands. THE SAMAE SAN ISLANDS: KOH CHUANG, KOH CHANG KLUA, KOH JARN, HIN LAK BAT Located 45 minutes from Pattaya along the coast, Samae San is a quaint fishing village. A quick drive followed by a short boat trip leads you to the nearly uninhabited Samae San Islands. Comprising Koh Samae San, Koh Chuang, Koh Jan, along with smaller sites like Koh Ron Nang, Hin Lak Bat (Shark Fin Rock), Koh Chang Klua, Hin Chalarm, and Hin Kunjear. The standout dive site in Samae San is the S.S Suddhadib, or The Hardeep Wreck, the only genuine war wreck in Thailand accessible for recreational dives. It’s among the top spots in Pattaya for experienced divers. The coral reefs in Samae San are breathtaking, especially at dive sites such as Japanese Gardens, Shark Fin Rock, and Hin Charlam.
