Best for advanced divers, 12-25m, boat entry, strong current.
The SS Petchaburi Bremen is a wreck dive located 8000 metres from shore in the Far Islands. Resting at depths between 12 and 25 metres, the vessel serves as an artificial reef. Divers encounter strong currents and visibility that fluctuates between 3 and 20 metres. Due to the overhead environment, potential for entanglement, and active boat traffic, this site is suited for advanced divers with drift diving experience. Stonefish are present on the structure, requiring careful buoyancy control. Always deploy a surface marker buoy before ascending to remain visible to passing boats. The site is accessible by boat only, with dives typically lasting 40 minutes.
