Baan Wang Ta Kien
Petrol Platform
Petrol Platform is a local dive site in shallow, sheltered waters near the northwest coast, commonly used for training and introductory dives. The site features a submerged platform that attracts small reef fishes and provides a simple, sandy bottom with minimal current. Access is easy from nearby piers, with calm conditions typical of protected bays. The site is often used by local dive centers for practice drills, buoyancy work, and visibility-friendly shallow dives. Expect modest marine life such as damselfish, clownfish and wrasse among a few soft corals and sponges around the man-made structure. Tidal and weather conditions can influence visibility and depth; plan the dive with the local center.
