Why dive here
With 173+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, eagle rays, giant moray eels, whale sharks and clownfish - RTN Kled Gaeow (Wreck) offers some of Similan Islands's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
RTN Kled Gaeow is a newer addition to the Similan wreck scene, deliberately sunk to create a new artificial reef. Sitting upright at 26 metres, it's a pretty intact vessel, still recognizable as a patrol boat. You can swim through the bridge, exploring the various compartments. We've seen some good-sized groupers here, sheltering in the hull, and the deck is starting to attract schools of snappers. It's a comfortable dive for intermediate divers looking for something a bit different from the usual Similan granite boulders. A welcome change of scenery.
