About this Dive Site
Description
The HTMS Chang wreck, deliberately sunk in 2012 off Koh Chang, is a colossal artificial reef teeming with life. This former Royal Thai Navy vessel, once a US warship, now hosts an impressive array of marine creatures including large groupers, vibrant lionfish, and schools of barracuda, making it a premier wreck diving destination.
