Deep Koh Tao wreck with full penetration and daily boat access.
HTMS Sattakut is a deep Koh Tao wreck dive with an upright hull, a tower section, and full-penetration options for trained wreck divers. It suits advanced boat dives that reward careful navigation, buoyancy control, and conservative gas planning, with the nearby pinnacle often used as a staging point for stops and turnarounds.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Wreck penetration creates an overhead environment; plan the dive profile for a maximum depth of 35 m and account for safety/decompression stops as needed.
Access Restrictions
Boat access from Koh Tao is the normal approach; penetration should only be planned by trained wreck divers.
Legal Notes
Treat penetration as an overhead activity and follow the operator briefing on depth and air management.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The wreck sits deep, with the top of the tower around 18 m and the hull extending to the low 30s.
Freediving
The top of the wreck is far too deep for casual breath-hold use, so it is mainly a scuba wreck for trained divers.
