Dive & snorkel in Thailand

Along the west coast of Thailand are the stunning dive site Richelieu Rock and several pristine islands, which invite for fantastic diving, snorkeling and sightseeing. Along the Surin Islands, which is like Richelieu Rock part of the Mu Koh Surin National Marine Park, we find nice shallow dive sites like Koh Torinla, Turtle Ledge and Koh Chi.

Places like Koh Ra, Koh Phratong and Koh Kham also belong to National Marine Parks and offer long white powdered beaches, where you can still feel like Robinsoe Crusoe, far away from the crowds.

The best of all, we think of course, is that these places a within a stone's throw from our base at Koh Phayam. From there, we organize regulary Day Trips to these pristine destinations.

Just remember: leave nothing but bubbles underwater and your footsteps on land! Let's keep these places a true paradise! 

Richelieu Rock

Richelieu Rock (called Hin Plo Naam in Thai) is a world famous dive site in Thailand in the Andaman Sea and is Thailand’s premier and best known dive site. It is part of the Mu Koh Surin marine park although being about 18 km east of Surin Island and is one of the main dive sites to meet up with large pelagics like manta rays and whale sharks.

The horseshoe-shaped reef is known for its purple corals as well as diverse marine life ranging from small fish and harlequin shrimp to large pelagics like whale sharks, manta ray, barracuda and groupers...

Surin Islands

If Thailand's tropical islands are the country's crowned jewels, Ko Surin could be the brightest of them all. Protected as the Mu Ko Surin National Park, Ko Surin actually consists of two relatively small islands — Ko Surin Nuea (north) and Ko Surin Tai (south) — as well as a handful of islets and some magnificent underwater sea scapes.
