HTMS Sattakut Wreck Dive Site — Thailand

About HTMS Sattakut Wreck

A decommissioned Thai Navy vessel (HTMS Sattakut 742) deliberately sunk in June 2011 as an artificial reef off the south coast of Koh Tao. Sitting upright at 30 meters with its deck at 18 meters, the wreck has been rapidly colonized by soft corals, sponges, and oysters. Batfish hover around the mast, barracuda patrol the hull, and the engine room is accessible for trained wreck divers.
