Best Diving Spots in Thailand

[CEMREKOI]

Hey all, is there any diving spot suggestions? 

I'll be travelling from Turkey, I've seen an article about best diving spots in Malaysia, but couldn't find an example in Thailand. 

Here's the content:  https://www.adventoro.com/blogs/adventure-news/the-best-diving-and-snorkelling-spots-in-southeast-asi

Please share if you have any similar suggestions for Thailand!

Thanks

I’ve dived in Phuket, Samui, phangan and Koh Tao. To be honest, the diving in those areas is crap. Most of the coral is dead and they are over crowded.

Yes, can be crowded, but most corals dead, depends on the site. I can take you to sites where you'll see lovely corals.

When are you travelling and roughly to where? Have a look (Youtube) at Sail Rock in the Gulf, its mindblowingly good

If you think that is mind blowing you really should consider diving at some of Thailand's best sites.

Richelieu Rock, Koh Tachai, Hin Daeng, Hin Muang, Koh Haa.

 

Still better than Sail Rock would be sites like Koh Bida Nok, Shark Point, King Cruiser, Koh Doc Mai, all of Similans, Koh Bon, Surin national marine park.

King Cruiser? It was crap 18 years ago.

Similan Islands for me is the best in Thailand. But watch out.

 

If you are planning more visits to SE Asia there are a lot better dive spots outside of Thailand. I personally like Borneo, Especially Sipidan.

It wasn't crap then, and still isn't crap. Fish all over the place, barracuda, snapper and plenty of others. As a wreck I agree, nothing special, as a divesite, really good. Visibility tends to be not good though, so due to depth, current and viz it can be challenging.

Only on the West Coast. Do not even consider diving in the Gulf, unless you like your visibility three meters or less. Not much to see.
