Diving
Pattaya, Thailand
Activities Scuba diving

Though not home to Thailand's best dive sites, Pattaya's proximity to Bangkok makes it a popular spot to get some underwater action. However overfishing and heavy boat traffic mean the
sites closest to Pattaya can be barren with poor visibility. Nearby Ko Larn, Ko Sak and Ko Krok are good for beginners, while accomplished divers may prefer the outer islands of Ko Man
Wichai and Ko Rin, which have better visibility and marine life.
In most places expect 3m to 9m of visibility under good conditions, or in more remote sites 5m to 12m. Further southeast, the shipwrecks Petchburi Bremen, off Sattahip and Hardeep, off
Samae, have created artificial reefs. The scuttled Thai navy

Samesan
Pattaya, Thailand
Activities Diving

Samesan is a small fishing village with some of the best diving in the region. The shipwrecked Petchburi Bremen and Hardeep have created artificial reefs and are interesting dive sites.
One of the best dive sites around is an old US Navy ammunition dump called Samesan Hole. This advanced dive goes down to 87m and has a gentle slope covered thickly with coral where
you can see barracuda and large rays. The visibility here is pretty good, up to 20m on a good day.
