Essential Information
This experience caters exclusively to divers holding a certification that is valid and has been used within the last 12 months. If you are new to diving, we advise you to consider joining our scuba diving experience around Koh Tao.
Prior to your dive, please visit the diving center before 2 pm the day before the activity. You will need to present your official diver certification and complete a personal information form. Participation will not be allowed without this.
Sail Rock Scuba Diving Journey
The adventure will commence at the scheduled time from the diving center situated at Sairee Beach. After receiving key instructions from your English-speaking instructor, you will head towards Sail Rock, which is a prominent underwater feature in the Gulf of Thailand. This site, known for its strong currents, is regarded as one of the most stunning diving locales in Southeast Asia.
The journey will take about an hour and a half, during which complimentary drinks and snacks will be provided on the boat. Upon reaching Sail Rock, participants will be organized into two groups: one for those with Open Water Diver certifications (for dives up to 18 meters) and another for advanced divers qualified for dives up to 30 meters. Each group will engage in two dives.
Exploring the depths around Sail Rock, you can expect to encounter a rich variety of marine life: schools of colorful fish, barracudas measuring up to two meters, stunning coral formations, and the exciting possibility of seeing a whale shark. Despite being the largest fish species, it poses no threat to divers.
After completing your two dives, the return journey to Sairee Beach will occur approximately six hours after departure.
