Khao Lak Artificial Reef building

Since 2010 Wicked Diving Thailand has been pioneering Artificial Reef building around Khao Lak. We have built several different reef structures as we are testing different systems and methods. So far each different “reef” has been a success in it’s own way.

These are all small reefs and are built with the intention of learning and showing all our professional level trainees (Divemasters) that even small steps can make a big difference.

We made of a video of us dropping our newest Artificial reef. As with all our projects, this one is built from found/recycled objects. We feel that is a far better to re-pupose materials for both availability and but to show that even every day products and materials can help create new habitats and reefs. Of course any harmful materials have been removed!

These reefs are an ongoing process and you can visit them with us! They are located near the Bonsoong wreck in Khao Lak where we dive several times a week. You can also look back at some of our previous posts about artificial reef building to see the work done over the years.
