Ship wreck
Why dive here
With 54+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, tiger sharks and pufferfish - Ship wreck offers some of Koh Tao's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
The HTMS Sattakut, better known as the Koh Tao Wreck, sits upright at 30 metres. This former Thai patrol boat was sunk intentionally in 2011, creating an artificial reef that’s now home to massive schools of fusiliers, snapper, and barracuda. We love exploring the bridge and cargo hold, which are relatively easy to penetrate for divers with wreck experience. It's a great spot for advanced divers looking for something a bit different from the natural reefs.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
