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 - Haad Salad offers some of Gulf of Thailand's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Haad Salad offers a straightforward shore entry dive, ideal for those getting comfortable in the water or looking for a relaxed afternoon. The gentle slope down to about 12 metres reveals patches of hard coral and the occasional anemone with resident clownfish. We've often spotted small reef fish, like damselfish and parrotfish, picking around the corals. It's a calm spot, perfect for a long, easy dive to practise buoyancy or just enjoy the quiet.
