Dive Spot Guide•
Home Run
Koh Tao's signature wreck dive with sheltering fish and a guide-led route.
Local operator required
Boat access and wreck guidance make a local operator the practical way to dive it.
Boat access from Koh Tao; best for divers comfortable with a deeper wreck profile and careful buoyancy around the hull.
About Home Run
HTMS Sattakut is Koh Tao's signature wreck dive: a deliberately sunk former navy ship turned artificial reef just off the island's west side. Divers work around the hull, deck guns, and superstructure on a guide-led boat dive, with fish sheltering in the structure and a route that rewards relaxed buoyancy and comfort with deeper recreational profiles.

Scuba Diving
A good fit for wreck-minded scuba divers who are comfortable staying calm and precise around the hull.
