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 - Mae Haad offers some of Gulf of Thailand's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Mae Haad offers a relaxed dive with a mix of hard and soft corals scattered across a gentle slope. It’s a good spot for spotting small reef fish like damselfish and fusiliers, along with the occasional blue-spotted stingray cruising the sandy patches. We find it’s particularly suitable for newer divers or those looking for an easy, shallow dive to refresh skills. Visibility can be a bit variable, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant way to spend an hour.
