 Explore the virgin wrecks in the Gulf of Thailand with Trident.
The MV Trident is a live-aboard boat set up for teaching, day trips and 5 – 7 days explorative trips.
The crew of MV Trident have found several ship wrecks in the last few years, including some WWII Japanese wrecks, an American Balao class submarine the USS Lagarto, an oil drilling ship and many, many more.
The “Shadow Divers” - John Chatterton & Richie Kohler – took a break from their History Channel show “Deep Sea Detectives”, and came here with an independent film crew to record what Steward Oehl and Jamie McLeod have been discovering so far, and it is an impressive record. The idea is to make a documentary about the heroes of the USS Lagarto, a US submarine sunk at the end of WWII, while she was attacking a Japanese convoy. The submarine disappeared and was found by the MV Trident crew 60 years later.
Most longer trips incorporate both old favorites and also the chance to be the first person on a new wreck. There are many marks listed as potential wrecks here in the Gulf of Thailand, just waiting for these professional tech diving explorers to find them.
There is a nitrox and trimix station on the boat, and courses are conducted in clear tropical water, around Koh Tao. Day trips and over night trips are available to wrecks lying in between 40 and 80 meters of water.

Get in on the Hammerhead tour, the WWII Japanese wrecks sunk by the USS Hammerhead include the Tottori Maru, the Nanrei Maru and the Kinrei Maru. Trident have found them all!
 I simply had to put this poster up, it's hilarious. Believe it or not that manky little boat tied to the Trident is alledgedly the competition used for tech diving. It is however advertised on their website as an 18.5 meter 25 bed liveaboard, good luck to ya! Stay away from these people! It is important to point out here that tech diving can be a dangerous occupation and should only be attempted with professional operators like the Trident. Trying to dive from a poorly equiped vessel is very likely to end in injury or even death! |
