Koh Chang: Dive Trip with 3 Dives & HTMS Chang Wreck

Summary

Dive Koh Chang’s shipwrecks coral reefs with relaxed boat vibes

You’ll start your day with hotel pickup in Koh Chang before heading out for three dives — including the famous HTMS Chang wreck and colorful coral sites near Koh Rang. Expect easygoing boat time between dives, buffet lunch on deck, and plenty of moments underwater where you forget everything else for a while.

What’s the experience like?

I’ll be honest — I was a little nervous about diving the HTMS Chang wreck at first. Something about swimming down into that huge shadow in the water made my stomach flutter, but our dive guide, Lek, just grinned and said, “Don’t worry — she’s friendly.” The boat ride out from Koh Chang was slow and salty; I could smell sunscreen and engine oil mixed with fresh pineapple. There were only eight of us on board, swapping stories over instant coffee while the island faded behind us.

The first descent was quiet except for my own breathing. The wreck appeared out of nowhere — way bigger than I’d pictured. Fish darted through old railings, and Lek pointed out a fat puffer hiding under some metal beams (I nearly missed it). After that we moved to a coral site — honestly, I lost track of time floating above all those soft waving anemones. Lunch was a simple buffet on deck: rice, curry, fruit. Someone spilled tea and everyone laughed when it rolled across the table with the waves.

On our last dive near Koh Rang, sunlight filtered through the water in these weird green-gold streaks. At one point I just hovered there watching parrotfish nibble at coral — didn’t even realize how long I’d been drifting until Lek tapped his tank to get my attention. Back on deck people were swapping photos and half-wet cookies. I still think about that feeling of being weightless under all that blue.
