The Gulf of Thailand has a lot of underwater hidden beauties and you can discover some of them in Koh Chang.
Snorkellers or divers, amateurs or professionals, everybody will have fun and will be able to enjoy marine life.

There are few places on Koh Chang where you can snorkel but you won't see so much. Choose places with rocks like Pearl beach or Chai Chet cape, for example, there are more fish and sea urchins than sandy beaches like White Sand beach or Klong Prao beach.
If you don't travel with your snorkelling equipment you can buy cheap ones or more advanced ones on the island. Some resorts even have masks, snorkels, and fins for their guests.

But if you really want to see more fish, and nicer mollusks and corals, then you will have to book a boat trip or a private speedboat. Unfortunately, all snorkelling tour boats go to the same places, Koh Wai and Koh Rang and during the high season, those places can be crowded.

Most diving centers also propose snorkelling tours but the one I really recommend is Thaifun. The crew is great, they know how to entertain their guests, the lunch buffet is fantastic, they supply all the equipment and believe me you will really enjoy your day.

There are several diving centers on Koh Chang which are proposing diving courses for beginners but also diving sessions for more experienced divers.
All of them have trained instructors who have their 5 Star PADI certificate.

For the experimented divers, there is a 100 meters long wreck sunk in 2012 which is now attracting lots of species of fish. It's a real playground for divers and a paradise for the underwater fauna. If you are lucky you will swim with a majestic whale shark which is coming more and more often in this area.
