Khao Lak, Thailand – In August of 2009 the Mv Sea Chart 1, a bulk carrier from Thailand sank in rough waves during a the journey from Myanmar to Vietnam. The vessel was carrying 1200 tonnes of teak wood and sank directly off the coast of Khao Lak. All crew and passengers were rescued and after the Thai Navy surveyed the wreck it was buoyed and opened for diving.

The wreck now lies on it’s starboard side in 40m with a length of 85m. The wreck is still quite new but marine life continues to grow each day. Every dive conducted on this wreck reveals new passages, doorways and entrances with challenging penetrations and obstacles.

While this wreck is new – it is already rich in sealife and activity.

We pick you up in the morning and bring you to the wreck in a comfortable big longtail boat. The total amount of guests is very limited and group size is kept to a maximum of four divers per diveguide. We use a line for the descend and spend a nice long dive to explore as much possible of the wreck. While this wreck is fascinating and a treat to dive on, the top of the wreck lies below 20 meters. As such, this wreck is limited to only experienced divers.
