BOONSUNG WRECK 2 500 BHT

This 60 meter marine tin ore processing vessel came to rest 20 meters below the surface in 1984 and has since attracted a wealth of marine life and soft coral. The wreck is located around 12 nautical miles from Tap Lamu pier so is quite close to shore. Often the schools of fish are so dense above the wreck that you'll have trouble spotting it on descent. There are yellow snapper, trevally, barracuda and batfish all in abundance here. On the wreck itself are lionfish, scorpionfish and many types of moray eel, there may also be a large marble stingray hiding beneath the structure. Penetration is not possible due to the age of the wreck and the amount of coral growth on it, two dives are usually done to fully explore the site. The Boonsung is a great local dive site from our center..

KOH TACHAI KOH BON 4 500 BHT

Koh Bon is located about 20 kilometres north of Similan island #9 and features one of the only vertical walls in Thailand. Thedive site is on the southwestern point and consists of a 33 metre wall facing the small cove, and a step-down ridge that carries on to depths of over 45 metres. Leopard sharks are common on the ridge and on the sandy flats belowthe wall.Although the soft corals are not as high-profile as they are in the Similans, the colours of the corals are radically different and include shades of turquoise, yellow and blue, besides the more common pinks and purples. Koh Bon is one of the better places to see manta rays, especially towards the end of the season when there is more plankton in the water. Twenty-five kilometres north of Koh Bon, Koh Tachai has an offshore underwater ridge that runs perpendicular to the island. This is considered to be one of the finest dives in the Kingdom and is famous as a place to see not only the more common species of corals, fans and tropical fish, but larger animals such as rays, leopard sharks, nurse sharks and hawks bill turtles. Whale sharks make an appearance on a regular basis. Tachai also boasts a breathtaking sandy beach on its northeastern shore; a great place to hang out and feel like Robinson Crusoe.
