Muck Diving
There are lots of easily accessible sites for local diving close to Khao Lak and the pier at Thap Lamu.
Boonsung Wreck
Boonsung Wreck is a well known haven for juvenile fish of all varieties and is so full of life it is locally known as ‘Fish Soup’. An old tin-mining dredger in the 1970’s, it sank in the early 80’s a few kilometres from Pakarang Cape and now supports a natural fish nursery.
It’s a well established wreck, with lots of honeycomb moray eels, large schools of juvenile barracuda, porcupine fish hiding in plain sight, and batfish curiously coming to check you out.
T13 Museum
The Underwater museum has become established off the beach at Khao Lak. There are a variety of old trucks, statues, and artificial reefs that have been put together around the wreck of the T13 boat as part of a coral gardening effort.
We like having a look at the old Harley Davidson motorbike that’s been put down there, and there’s usually a large whip ray hiding under the trucks.
Premchai Wreck
Premchai is more intact than Boonsung wreck with lots to explore. It’s a great muck-diving site with lots of critters to find. It’s got some swim-throughs for more experienced divers too.
Our Speedboat – Nemo 2
Our speedboat – Nemo 2 gets you to all of the local dive sites in just a few minutes. No long, slow trips on local longtail boats – just a fast efficient trip to the dive site.
The tanks and gear bags are already loaded, you just need to get on board and go.
Nemo 2 has lots of space – although the boat is registered for 24 people, we take a maximum of 10 divers to make sure that everyone has enough space, and we have a marine toilet on board.
