mrtoad Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Supposed to be sank on the 16th of this month, but don't know if they will manage to do that. sounds like there is still a lot more to do from speaking to a few of the local divers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WimJ Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) The sinking of the HTMS CHANG 712, scheduled for the 27th of September, has been postponed due to bad weather conditions. A new sinking date still has to be confirmed. Looking at a possible sinking in November. Edited September 21, 2012 by WimJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WimJ Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 Small impression of the sinking and the first dive on the HTMS Chang. A video is included at the end of the post! http://www.divingscool.com/blog/2012/11/koh-chang-wreck-the-sinking-and-first-dive/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Interesting link, considering the wreck was meant to be off limits at that point? Ah, was this the same lot that I saw diving around 10 minutes after the ship went down, or where you a bit later? I heard they also penetrated the wreck, which seems to be somewhat risky at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, was this the same lot that I saw diving around 10 minutes after the ship went down, or where you a bit later? I heard they also penetrated the wreck, which seems to be somewhat risky at that point. We received a phone call from the Navy that we could dive the wreck 30 mins after it was sunk. Penetration was strictly out of the question and as far I could see, nobody did. No idea what happened after we came up, but that same day, the nice big flag you see in the video, got taken away The Navy actually asked us to inform them about how the ship was positioned on the bottom, but by the time we came back up (49mins later), everybody was gone, except some fishing boats which were lowering their nets!
