L’épave du Kled Keaw
Epave Kled Kaew
L'Epave Kled Kaew HTMS est un ancien navire de la marine thaïlandaise construit en 1948 pour la marine royale norvégienne. Après huit ans, il a été vendu à la marine royale thaïlandaise, renommé et utilisé comme navire de soutien au transport. Un certain nombre de gros trous ont été percés dans le navire, l'aidant à couler. Ces trous permettent aux plongeurs qualifiés d'entrer et d'explorer l'intérieur de cette Epave Kled Keaw. C'est une épave colossale, longue de 47 mètres et pesant 382 tonnes. Le parc national de PhiPhi ont recupere ce navire pour en faire un site artificiel.
Faune incroyable!
HTMS Kled Gaew a été coulé le 19 Mars 2014 proche la côte Ouest de PhiPhi ley, à une profondeur de 27 mètres. Ce site artificiel est devenu une incroyable source de vie sous-marine. En seulement 3 ans, nous avons pu constater une extraordinaire explosion de sa faune et de sa flore.
Faune et Flore
On y trouve même des espèces uniques, que l’on trouve très peu sur les sites avoisinants. On y trouve de gigantesques bancs de barracudas, vivaneaux, poissons-chats, carangues, thons et une multitudes de poissons de roches. Ce site est disponible seulement pour les plongeurs certifiés plongée profonde à 3o mètres.
Envisageable pour tout plongeur
Cette épave est devenue une réelle opportunitée de découvrir un monde sous-marin différent. Il est aussi très facile d’y passer sa plongée profonde de 30 metres (plongeur niveau 1). Bien protégé, le courant est plus au moins moderé en fonction du coefficient de marée. La vie est vraiment différente de celle des autres sites de PhiPhi. On y découvre pas autant de requins ou tortues mais on se croirait vraiment au mileu d’un auqarium, celui dont on aurait toujours rêvé d’avoir chez soi. Nous avons toujours un possibiltée de vous y faire plonger, n’hésitez pas!

3 juillet 2021Big Thanks to Blue Planet for a great day 3/3. And specially thanks to Brice who was a very professional and nice diveinstructor. He gave me a very good refresh for my OW cert because its been a while sins my last dive. After that we did two really good dives at Koh Bida.

I just did my open water diving licence there and the guys from the Diving Center are doing a very professional job (they are not overwhelmingly friendly or funny, I... read more felt like they keep a professionelle distance)
, everything went on really fluent, the boat trip to the spots was enjoyable (thanks to the anti sea-sickness pills from the Diving Center), the food was delicious, the thai staff was extremely friendly, and the dives have been nice! I did the course because I am/was really afraid of deep water, the sea, swimming... I always felt like water is just not my element. With all the knowledge I got and my very calm and sophisticated teacher (thanks Raf) I managed to go down and keep breathing. From Dive to dive my fear shrunk and I could enjoy my experience. The only thing what I was missing was a long wetsuit as I started freezing at the end of every dive.Stay08598734055
9 février 2023Blue Planet was very responsive on WhatsApp to organise the dives, and the package quoted for 2 days diving was very reasonable. They pick up and drop off from your... read more hotel. The catamaran is large, clean and well appointed. Lots of room to chill between dives. Breakfast, lunch and snacks provided on board were really good quality. The quality of the diving gear is fine. There were two of us and we did 3 dives each for 2 days. Groups are small, with no more than 4 individuals per guide. Our guides, Brice and Mark were both excellent, both knowledgeable and attentive and really made our trip special. All the staff and the owner are very pleasant and helpful.
Overall, am very impressed with Blue Planet Divers, would thoroughly recommend. Thank you to Blue Planet!pap5225
1 janvier 2023Fantastic day diving and snorkelling with Blue Planet Divers. Our sons (11 and 14) tried a Discover Diving day and my wife and I snorkelled. Etienne looked after the boys... read more and was the perfect blend of friendly and professional. We felt safe and well looked after from the minute we were picked up at our hotel and throughout the whole day. We were lucky enough to see loads of fish and reef tip sharks. Matt took some fantastic photos that you are under no obligation to buy but you will definitely want to as they are far better than anything you can take yourself. Would definitely recommend to others and already have.

25 décembre 2022This shop is amazing, they are very professional, super friendly and organized, the boat is quite nice and the food on the boat is delicious.
We did 4 dives... read more and an open water course, plus we stayed at their hotel (the dive house) which was extremely comfortable and convenient, you get out of the boat and you're 10 meters away from your room.
Laurens was a great instructor and guide, we saw a lot of beautiful ocean life and had a pretty epic experience. The staff on the boat is also quite professional and friendly, they run a tight operation and make you feel safe.
There is also a professional photographer, Matt, who does amazing work.
Highly recommended!902fernandoo

So if you find yourself debating wether to dive or not my advice is do not hesitate, it is one of the best things I’ve ever done!

8 mars 2020... read more Blue Planet Divers is the place to go for diving in Thailand, they're based in Koh Lanta and dive close to Koh Phi Phi and other dive sites. I did my PADI OPEN WATER and Deep Diver Adventure course with an extra 10 dive package. The instructors were very knowledgeable, kind, patient and they made sure I was comfortable and confident enough before going to the open water of the Andaman Sea. This was definitely a highlight of my trip and also my life!! The crew and everyone working with Blue Planet Divers are professionals and I can't wait to go back!! 😁👌👌

Testimonials
Dive company with great attention to safety We joined as a family of 4. The guides were brilliant and so safety conscious. Filled me as a nervous diver with huge confidence. The dive sites were superb and the team tried to avoid busier places. Great focus on respect of marine life too. My youngest son enjoyed snorkelling with a dive master while we were diving. The guides gave detailed pre and post dive briefings. The boats were fantastic with plenty of space and the food was plentiful and superb. The whole crew worked hard while we were on board.
My wife and I tried Discovery Diving with BPD. My wife can’t swim very well and got nervous a few times, but our instructor Corrina was very good and managed our dives calmly and expertly. James, the photographer, took some incredible pictures of our dives and we ended up purchasing them all. As first timers we thought maybe this was standard, but when we showed the photos to friends who went diving in Phi Phi island with a different operator (we didn’t ask who), they were blown away.
This was my first dive and I booked the discover scuba diving. I appreciate that the instructor was taking time to explain all the instructions and detailing what we saw after each dive. I felt like he had a lack of patience sometimes under water and that’s a pity when you work with beginners.. so I told him nicely to be patient. On board you have plenty of food and drinks which is always nice to have. Thanks to the thai guys for preparing everything but also by helping us to get off the water as it’s quite heavy. Overall it was a very good experience and I am looking forward to continue the Padi courses.
Absolute phenomenal! It was my first two-dive after OW certificate. I did a refresher course (if your last dive is more than a year ago you do a refresher for safety reasons), and my boyfriend did a DSD (Discover Scuba Diving). We had the best time and our instructor is really helpful! And the view was splendid. Saw a lot of fish and corals and other sea animals that I couldn't even name them! They also have a big boat with breakfast and lunch provided. If you want to experience the amazing underwater world of the Andaman Sea, just go to BPD and I promise you'll have a great time.
