Koh Chang is located on the South East coast of Thailand and boasts turquoise water, white sand and lush tropical rainforests. The best diving is between October/November and April. Top dive sites are on the west and southern tip of the island, between Koh Chang (Ko Chang) and Koh Kood (Ko Kut). There you can see soft corals, anemones, myriad reef fish, and sometimes eel. Hin Luk Bat and Hin Lap both have coral seamounts. Further south, white-tip reef sharks can be found near Hin Phrai Nam.

In addition, there are two wreck dive sites. The Koh Chang (Ko Chang) Wreck is a Thai warship sunk by the French navy in 1941. The wreck is only 15 meters deep in the Salakphet Bay on the southern tip of the island.

The other wreck is the Pak One Wreck which sank after hitting a coral reef in August 1996 on its way to Vietnam. It resurfaced almost 8 years later. The 900-ton sunken tanker posed a danger to ships on international waters. The Royal Thai Navy drained off its 600 tons of liquefied petroleum gas and resank it between Koh Chang and Koh Samet. It now lies horizontally in 35-meter-deep waters...
