Phuket Khao Lak Premchai

Premchai wreck

Premchai is also an old tin mining vessel that was intentionally sunk as a dive site in 2001. The wreck is not as full of life as the Boonsung wreck, but year after year more marine dwellers have found a home here. The wreck is located close to the coast of Tablamu so visibility is greatly affected by the coastal tides. On a good day, the visibility here can be 10 meters, so the wreck is primarily a good macro dives. Here you can see a lot of different small macro critters like crabs, shrimps and nudibranchs.
