If you want a trip that is off the beaten track then diving in Koh Chang is a great choice. With stunning coral reefs and the epic wreck HTMS Chang this rainforest-adorned island boasts gentle currents and a laid back bohemian vibe.
Wreck diving in Koh Chang is king - these waters hold Thailand's largest vessel. Alongside wreck exploration there are pinnacles to swim around, pretty reefs to drift over and marine life to come face-to-face with. Over 20 sites keep you enthralled dive after dive.
For nice and easy diving Koh Rang national park is the perfect area, amazing coral reef, shallow depths but definitely worth exploring. It is a great area for family trips with divers and snorkelers combined
Barracuda, groupers, sting rays, tuna and cobia together with a range of critters and reef fish keep your log book full. Look out for turtles, nudibranchs, moray eels and larger fish such as trigger fish and barracuda. The world's biggest fish - the whale shark - is an occasional visitor for lucky divers.
