Why dive here
With 54+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, tiger sharks and pufferfish - SALVONIA offers some of Koh Tao's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
The Salvonia wreck sits just off Sairee Beach, a small tugboat that capsized back in '74. It’s pretty shallow, topping out around 9 meters, so it’s a good one for a longer bottom time or for those just getting comfortable with wreck diving. The old boat, about 48 meters long, has become a home for all sorts of reef fish – we’ve seen schools of juvenile barracuda circling the mast and plenty of snapper tucked into the shadowy parts. It’s mostly broken up now, but you can still make out the main structure, with the engine room a fun little swim-through if you’re comfortable with your buoyancy. We’d suggest going early in the morning before the boat traffic picks up for the calmest conditions.
