Dive-site story
Located off the coast of Koh Sak in Pattaya's Near Islands group, this site gets its name from a tourist submarine operation that historically frequented the area. The seabed features a mix of natural hard coral clusters, sandy patches, and scattered artificial structures placed to attract marine life. Sloping gradually away from the island, the sheltered topography makes it a mainstay for training dives and relaxed second dives.
Artificial structures and concrete modules colonised by sponges and soft corals
Sheltered bay topography suitable for navigation exercises and macro searches
Occasional encounters with juvenile turtles foraging along coral heads
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Diving occurs year-round, though the northeast monsoon period brings the most reliable visibility and calmest seas.
