Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, whale sharks, clownfish and pufferfish - SIRIMONGKOL 2 offers some of Koh Lanta & Phi Phi's richest wreck diving.
The Sirimongkol 2, a motor vessel, sits upright at 13 meters, making it a comfortable dive for most. We often find the visibility here can be a bit variable, but on a good day, the outline of the wreck comes into focus quite nicely. Schools of snapper and fusiliers usually hover around the superstructure, and if you take your time, there are often lionfish tucked into the nooks and crannies. It’s a great spot for a relaxed second dive, allowing for plenty of bottom time to really soak in the atmosphere of a ship reclaimed by the sea.
