Why dive here
With 158+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, mobula rays (devil rays), whale sharks and pufferfish - Construction Artificial Reef offers some of Gulf of Thailand's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Out in the Gulf of Thailand, you'll find the Construction Artificial Reef resting at 18 metres. It’s a purposeful dive, designed to kickstart marine ecosystems in what was once a pretty barren patch of seabed. For newer divers, it’s a calm introduction to wreck-like structures without the depth or complexity, offering a chance to see how quickly the ocean reclaims and repurposes human intervention. You'll likely spot small schools of snapper, maybe a few inquisitive batfish, and plenty of damselfish darting between the rebar and concrete blocks. It’s a solid choice for a second dive, gentle and interesting enough to keep you engaged without demanding too much.
