The main scuba diving areas around Pattaya are located in the "Far Islands".
These are the second ring of islands about 20-30 kilometers from Pattaya. The islands are
controlled by The Navy, and no permanent structures are built there (boat traffic is also
a minimum). These islands include Koh Rin, Koh Man Wichai, Koh Keung Badaan, Koh Hu Chang
and Koh Phi. Altogether there are up to 20 different dive sites with visibility ranging from
5 - 15 meters.
There are many different types of soft and hard corals, and large schools of Jacks, Barracuda and Tuna. Blue Spotted Stingrays, Porcupine Puffer fish and Moray Eels can be seen on virtually every dive.
The newly sunk HTMS Khram shipwreck is located just south of Koh Phi and has fast become a favorite among
local divers. An incredible amount of marine life has already been attracted to this wreck in a
very short period of time.
The Samae San/Sattahip area has similar diving conditions, with the added attraction of two large intact
shipwrecks. The Petchburi Bremen is an old freighter sunk in 21 meters of water in the Khram Channel
(Sattahip). It's home to many Grouper and Barracuda. The Hardeep is a cargo ship sunk in 28 meters
during the World War II era. This ship is completely intact, and can be navigated from bow to stern entirely inside!!
