Koh Tachai is an island with several good dive sites, the most famous being Koh Tachai Plateau. Koh Tachai Island is situated 40km/25 mi south of Koh Surin Tai. It is one of the best sites for Thailand scuba liveaboards. It has a series of submerged pinnacles and boulders, which form excellent swim-throughs. The average depth is 20m/66ft and the maximum depth is 36m/118ft. Diving is best suitable for experienced divers

When To Go Diving

Diving season is from November to April. In the months of March and April, the visibility can drop to around 20-30m/66-98ft due to a higher density of plankton in the water. The water temperature is usually around 30C/86F at the surface and 27-28°C/81-82°F deeper down, but occasionally it can drop down to 25°C/77°F.
