Sail Rock Scuba Diving Experience

Sail Rock is one of the most famous dive sites in the Gulf of Thailand. Immerse yourself in the clear waters after taking a boat from Koh Tao.

Important information

This activity is only suitable for certified divers who have dived in the previous 12 months. If you are a beginner, we recommend you book a different diving activity off the coasts of Koh Tao.

The day before the activity, you must visit the diving center before 2 pm to show your official diver certificate and to fill out a form with your personal information. If you fail to do this, you cannot participate in the activity.

The excursion will begin at the indicated time from the diving center in Sairee Beach. After receiving brief instructions from your English-speaking monitor, you will set out to Sail Rock, located in the Gulf of Thailand. The journey takes approximately one hour and a half and includes free drinks and snacks on board. Upon arrival, you will be divided into two groups: one for Open Water Divers (up to 18 meters) and another for advanced divers (up to 30 meters). Each group will participate in two immersions.

In the depths of Sail Rock, expect to find abundant marine flora and fauna, including schools of fish, barracudas, impressive corals, and possibly a harmless whale shark. After completing the two immersions, we'll return to Sairee Beach, six hours after departure.

More important information

If you have a diver certification but have not dived in over a year, you can still book this activity but must complete a scuba refresher class, costing 700 Thai bahts (approximately 19 EUR). This activity depends on weather conditions, and the boat captain may cancel the departure if navigating to the dive site is risky.
