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 booking a diving activity off the coasts of Koh Tao.

The day before the activity, you must go to the diving center before 2 pm to show your official diver certificate and fill out a personal information form. Failure to do this will prevent participation in the activity.

Sail Rock Scuba Diving Experience

The excursion will begin at the indicated time from the diving center in Sairee Beach. After brief instructions from your English-speaking instructor, you will travel to Sail Rock, a crag in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand. With various currents around the pinnacle, it is one of the most spectacular dive sites in Southeast Asia.

During the approximately one and a half-hour journey, free drinks and snacks will be provided on board. Upon arrival at Sail Rock, 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 perform a total of two immersions.

At Sail Rock, encounter diverse marine flora and fauna: schools of fish, 2-meter long barracudas, impressive corals, and possibly a whale shark. After completing the two immersions, return to Sairee Beach six hours after departure.

More important information

If you have a diver certification but haven't dived in over a year, you may book this activity but must take a scuba refresher class for 700 Thai bahts (approximately 19 EUR) payable on the day of the activity.

This activity depends on weather conditions; the boat captain may cancel the departure if conditions are unsafe for navigation to the dive site.
