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, it is recommended to book an alternative 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 complete a personal information form. Failure to do so will prevent participation in the activity.

The excursion starts at the designated time from the diving center in Sairee Beach. After brief instructions from an English-speaking monitor, you will depart for Sail Rock. This crag is located in the middle of the Gulf of Thailand, known for its diverse currents. The journey lasts approximately one and a half hours, during which free drinks and snacks are provided. Upon arrival, participants will be divided into two groups: one for Open Waters Divers (immersions up to 18 meters) and one for advanced divers (up to 30 meters). Each group will complete two immersions.

Underwater, Sail Rock features abundant marine flora and fauna, including schools of fish, 2-meter barracudas, and impressive corals. Sightings of whale sharks are possible, though they are harmless. After the immersions, the group will return to Sairee Beach six hours after departure.

More important information

If you hold a diver certification but have not dived in over a year, you can still book this activity by completing a scuba refresher class, which costs 700 Thai bahts (approximately 19 EUR), payable on the day of the activity. Participation is subject to weather conditions; the boat captain may cancel the departure if navigation to the dive site is deemed unsafe.
