Dive into History with the HTMS Chang
Discover the HTMS Chang, Thailand’s largest shipwreck dive site, perfect for advanced and technical divers. Originally the USS Lincoln County, this World War II vessel was transferred to the Royal Thai Navy in 1962 and sunk off Koh Chang in 2012 to create an artificial reef. The wreck, lying at depths of 12 to 30 meters, offers extensive exploration opportunities, including cargo holds and the captain's cabin.
Now a vibrant underwater ecosystem, the HTMS Chang attracts trevally, barracuda, batfish, and more. With visibility of 10 to 20 meters and mild currents, it’s an accessible yet exciting dive. Book your guided expedition with us for an unforgettable adventure.
