Chaloklum Diving - Gulf of Thailand

Chaloklum Diving operates out of Koh Phangan's northern village, a quieter base than the southern party towns. If you’re looking to dive Sail Rock and the local Koh Phangan sites, this centre will get you there without the long boat ride from Koh Tao. It’s a solid choice for divers staying in Chaloklum, offering convenient access to the Gulf's best dive spots. We’d pick them for a more relaxed, local dive experience.
