Wicked Diving Wicked Diving

Join us on this daytrip that brings you to one of the very best sites in the region Koh Tachai. Our Koh Tachai daytrip brings you to a very lovely submerged flat plateau in the open ocean. Distance and currents make this trip a once-a-week affair and is only recommended for experienced divers. Great to combine with a daytrip to the Similans or one of our local wrecks! We often see Manta Rays, Oceanic triggerfish and other pelagics as well as Leopard Sharks, Frogfish and more.

We will pick you up in the morning at your resort and drive you to the pier where our large and comfortable boat is waiting for you. Your First dive will be at Koh Tachai Plateau around 10:15. The afternoon dive may find us diving the Plateau again, or headnig off to the reef. This gives you the opportunity to do some great diving and still sleep at your resort each night. The weather permitting, we will have you back in your resort for sunset drinks. What a life!

Koh Tachai Plateau – marine life and topography

Koh Tachai is an island with a stunning white beach on the east side and big granite boulders on the west. North of it are the Surin Islands and south the Similan Islands. The divesite is a submerged rock formation a bit south of the island. It starts at around 12 meters and drops down all the way to 30 meters and beyond. Many amazing creatures are seen here including nudibranchs, pipefishes, mantis shrimps, sea snakes and moray eels. There are huge schools of fusiliers and anthias on top of the plateau. Trevallies swim in the blue looking for their next meal and you can see groupers, batfish, sweetlips and rainbow runners as well. It is also one of the only places to find the Oceanic Triggerfish. Quite often you can see a Leopard Shark on the bottom and if you are lucky, you might encounter a Manta Ray hovering over the plateau.

This is the kind of site where you should always look for the small things, and you will find some amazing stuff. If the Mantas do arrive, you have seen both the little and the large, always a good combination.

The divesite is infamous for its strong currents and thermoclines appearing from the deep. Although you can always find relative calm waters behind the boulders at depth you might end up doing your safety stop horizontal at the bouyline…
