SEACREST
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 - SEACREST offers some of Gulf of Thailand's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
The Seacrest wreck sits upright in 40 metres, a substantial dive for those with deep wreck experience. This drill vessel, capsized during Typhoon Gay in '89, is impressively large at over 110 metres long. You can explore the superstructure, which offers plenty of penetration points, though we'd advise careful planning for anything beyond the open decks. Schools of barracuda often circle the mast, and the interior spaces, if you venture in, host moray eels and large groupers. It's a proper deep wreck dive, best for divers comfortable with extended bottom times and good buoyancy.
