Around Koh Tao, we’re now experiencing great sea conditions – flat sea, very sunny and visibility increasing every day. This should continue throughout Summer.

At DJL Diving Koh Tao, we’re going to take advantage of this by using the RIB to dive Sail Rock (Hin Bae) & the Samran Pinnacles – we’ll be running trips to these dive sites twice weekly throughout Summer.

Sail Rock is a small island, which breaks the surface midway between Koh Tao & Koh Phangan. It’s sheer walls meet the sand at around 25 metres – we see lots of pelagic fish, plus there’s a vertical chimney swimthrough running from 6 metres down to 18 metres.

The Samran Pinacle is an isolated rarely dive site, roughly West of Sail Rock. Max depth around 35 metres extending up to 14 metres from the surface, this a great site for experienced divers. Deep soft corals and masses of fish (due to the lack of divers). Since the RIB is equipped with GPS & sonar its easy for us to locate this deep pinnacle.

Throughout Summer we’re making a special offer for this trip:

2 dives, 2000 baht. [Max 6 customers per trip]

Because the RIB is so quick, journey time to Sail Rock will be just 30 minutes (with flat seas), rather than the normal two hours off a big boat. Don’t miss it!

Contact us if you are interested.

For the next few days we’ve got a south-easterly tropical monsoon storm hitting Koh Tao!!

Off the unprotected west coast of Koh Tao, Thailand wave heights are reaching 1.5 – 2 metres -not great for scuba diving!

For the next few days we’ll be diving the sheltered dive sites on the leaward shoreline of Koh Tao – Hin Wong Pinnacles, Tanote Bay, Laem Thian, Lighthouse bay and Aow Leuk etc. Despite the storm conditions are still reasonable – we got around 10 metres vis at 3 metres depth on the Hin Wong Pinnacles dive site this morning.

The weather is expected to return to normal around 16th July – we should rapidly return to flat seas and great vis. We’ll then crack on with our intro to tec diving trips on the Unicorn wreck, and visit the isolated pinnacles around Koh Tao.

were off again this time to chumpon the misson is to identify  a wreck we located last month in 30 mtr also we have a red hot mark from two indpendant fisherman for a ship lying in 40 mtr  so watch this space !Diving Koh Tao, Thailand | Davy Jones’ Locker | Thailand
