Whale Shark Rumors & Wreck Penetration

Posted Apr 4th, 2014 by Rich

Following rumors of a whale shark sighting, yesterday morning’s dive trip headed out to the Chumphon Pinnacles dive site north-west of Koh Tao. Unfortunately when we arrived the ever-so allusive whale shark was nowhere to be seen.

However to make up for this, the viz was a fantastic 25/30 meters. Hugh groups of fusilier fish, yellow tail trevallies, rainbow runners and the biggest barracuda I have ever seen.

Next dive site we motored the Simple Life dive boat across to the HTMS Sattakut wreck where again conditions and visibility were wonderful. Just perfect for an exciting Wreck penetration dive into the bowls of the ship.

All in all a spot on morning of diving with my dive buddy Inst Ricky!
