About this dive site

This dive site presents the HTMS Kut, a former United States Navy LSM-333 ship that was transferred to the Thai navy in October 1946 and renamed HTMS KUT. The wreck sank slightly north of Koh Sak Island in September 2006 as part of an initiative honoring King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 60th year on the throne. Now serving as a vibrant artificial reef, this wreck offers an intriguing dive experience. It rests at a depth of approximately 30 meters. The site is characterized by its structural elements and provides habitat for marine life. Visibility is likely good around the wreck.
