Best for advanced divers, 25-42m, boat entry, mild current.
The Pak-1 wreck is a deep-water site located off Koh Chang, Thailand. The hull rests at depths between 25 and 42 metres, requiring advanced diving skills and careful gas management. Divers encounter mild currents and visibility ranging from 5 to 20 metres, with thermoclines often affecting clarity. The structure presents an overhead environment with entanglement risks from loose fittings and lines. Due to the significant depth, nitrogen narcosis is a primary consideration. The site is accessible only by boat, and divers should be prepared for cooler water temperatures than shallower regional sites. The surrounding habitat supports various reef fish and invertebrates.
