FUN CAVE DIVING – for certified cave divers only
With Tech Diving Thailand Team.
When you think about cave diving, Thailand is most likely not the first location that comes to mind.
However, as more wet caves are discovered throughout the country, cave diving is becoming more and more popular. Thailand has vast limestone formations.
We now have a total of 9 caves which we can dive 2 hours away from Surat Thani Night Boat or Surat Thani Airport.
Caves are mostly formed by water eating away softer stone, like limestone. This process can take thousands of years and usually results in a true piece of art. Some of the caves go on for miles and some of the deepest cave dives in Asia have been done in Thailand.
Krabi province offers a variety of limestone caves and there are more caves further south in Nakon and Surat Thani provinces.

Cave Diving Trips Thailand – FUN Diving packages
First: YOUR ARRIVAL IN Koh Tao
For Fun Cave Diving trips we have found that is is the most convenient for you and us if you can come down to Koh Tao a day before the trip. This way we can pack and check your equipment, do paperwork and the final payment.
You will depart late in the evening on teh Night Boat to Surat Thani and the next day is a 2 hours drive to teh Cave Systems in the South.
There are a few resorts in the neighbourhood of the dive center on Koh Tao. We can help you with your booking if you would like.
DIVING IN SONG HONG
In the morning of your first diving day during your Cave Diving trips Thailand, you will be driven to Song Hong, Song = 2 and Hong = room, lake in Nakon Sri Thammarat Province, a 2 hour drive from Surat Thani Airprt or night boat. This is a fresh water lake which is used by the locals for drinking water. This lake used to be covered up, but many years back it collapsed and is now formed into a sink hole. After it has been discovered in the year 2006, only a handful divers have had the privilege to dive here. There are two entrances, one from the large lake and one from the smaller one. They are connected at 40 meters. Dave has been diving there many times and the deepest he went was 185 meters. These rooms are huge with a crystal clear visibility of + 50 meters. The surroundings of this lake are Rubber plants and all teh loca residenst and monks come down to visit us to find out what we're doing.

DIVING IN CAVES SRA KEOW 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 IN KRABI
If you are an experienced full cave diver we can take you to the next caves in Krabi Province, named Sra Keow. These 3 caves are also a fresh water lakes and used to be next to an elephant station. Sometimes when you come up they come a drink from the lake. These caves are 2 hours drive from Surat Thani and Song Hong.
SRA KEOW 1 is a narrow cave which is only suitable for the experienced cave Diver. The way into the cave is great visibility but the up up out of the cave can have a visibility of 0 meters.
SRA KEOW 2 which lies at 50 meters next to Sra Keow 1 connects to 1 at 8o and 200 meters.
SRA KEOW 3 lies a little further and has just been discovered. The Tech Diving Thailand team is still exploring SRA KEOW 4 and 5 as well.
The same owners of Burilamplai have made a new resort in Krabi as well, called Boutique Village hotel, which we use for the cave diving in Krabi.
