Marine Park Marine Life Dive Boats Diving on Koh Tao Fun Dive Packages Chumpon Marina Park Diving in Chumphon Marine Park is a unique experience. There are over 40 islands and dive sites to choose from and virtually no other divers to share them with. This provides our divers with the opportunity to see plenty of marine life with minimum other boat traffic. “More fish, fewer people” is our mantra! Most of the dive sites in the Gulf of Thailand are located around Koh Tao, Sail Rock, and the Ang Thong Marine Park. The dive industry on the mainland may be smaller, but Chumphon Marine Park is much larger, and the quality of the dive sites make it a real hidden gem. Only 70km of water separates Chumphon from Koh Tao, but the feeling underwater is quite different. If you are used to diving on Koh Tao, then diving Chumphon Marine Park will feel like stepping back in time to experience its true natural beauty before becoming a tourist magnet and diving mecca. Chumphon Marine Park may be one of the lesser-known diving spots in the Gulf of Thailand, but there is no limit to what you may find under the surface. When you come diving with Sensui Dive Resort, you’ll see a wide variety of marine life and experience the dazzling beauty of pristine dive sites, all with a personal touch. In addition to diverse corals and an abundance of fish, you have the chance to spot lots of nudibranchs, many invertebrates, turtles, and whale sharks. Whale sharks are more common in Chumphon Marine Park than on Koh Tao and can be seen regularly throughout the year, both underwater and from the surface. If you’re looking to plan your trip around whale shark sightings, the best time is between March and June. For adventurous divers, there are dive sites with caves, wrecks, and swim-throughs to explore. The area offers rewarding experiences for divers of all levels because dive site depths range from 8 to 30 metres, and visibility is usually 15-20 metres. If you’re planning your trip around dive site conditions, visibility is normally incredible from May through to September, For an exciting dive holiday or weekend break, diving in Chumphon Marine Park with Sensui Dive Resort is a must-do for underwater lovers, nature enthusiasts, and divers seeking an off-the-beaten-track ambience while maintaining all the quality and customer service of a bustling tourist hub.

Marine Life

Marine Life Fun Dive Package Dive Boats Diving on Koh Tao Chumphon Marine Park MARINE LIFE Chumphon marine life is diverse and impressive. Vibrant corals, colourful fish, cruising turtles, and the possibility to dive with a whale shark. With calm seas and clear waters for most of the diving season, there is much to see. Whether you join us for a PADI course or fun diving trip, you’ll get to explore some beautiful dive sites. Our experienced team of Instructors and Dive Masters know where to find all the best marine life in the Chumphon Marine Park, and will make sure you get to see as much as possible. In general, our divers are interested in four different categories of marine life: ● Our corals – Without which Chumphon marine life would be nowhere near as varied and spectacular. ● The big stuff – Whale sharks and other large marine creatures like turtles and passing rays. ● Fish – Brightly coloured fish of all shapes and sizes have made the Chumphon Marine Park reefs their home. ● The small stuff – For some divers, finding new nudibranch or minute crustaceans in the cracks and crevices is what it’s all about. Marine Life OUR CORALS Corals are the unsung heroes of our tropical ecosystem. Without the corals, there’d be way fewer fish to look at, and the dive sites would be much less colourful and awe-inspiring. Corals form the very foundation of the reef on which all other life forms thrive. Corals are typically separated into two varieties: hard corals and soft corals. Hard corals include boulder coral, brain coral, staghorn coral, and table coral. Soft coral species include whip coral, fan coral, bubble coral, carnation coral, sun coral, and cup coral. Our Corals THE BIG STUFF Sharks are a major attraction on every diver’s bucket list. For many, the chance to swim with a whale shark is the ultimate diving holiday experience. Whale sharks are more common at Chumphon dive sites than on Koh Tao and can be seen regularly, although the best time is usually between March and June. Other shark species can also be spotted cruising the marine park, as can several turtles and a few different species of stingray. The Big Stuff THE SMALL STUFF If you’re a macro lover, then Chumphon dive sites will not disappoint. If you take your time and look closely during your dives, you’ll be rewarded with some great finds. Keep a look out for nudibranchs on the reef walls and critters like shrimp, crabs, and octopus hiding in the cracks and crevices of the inner reef. Whatever time you visit, and whether you choose to dive only in Chumphon or book a package that also includes diving on Koh Tao, we’re sure that you will leave with spectacular underwater memories that last a lifetime. If you’re planning your trip around specific marine life sightings, be sure to let us know in advance so we can help you arrange the best possible schedule. The Small Stuff OUR FISH There is an abundance of resident fish in Chumphon Marine Park, comprising both reef dwellers and pelagic species. Common sightings of reef fish include butterflyfish, angelfish, bannerfish, parrotfish, groupers, anemonefish, lionfish, pufferfish and filefish. Schooling pelagic species include snapper, barracuda, jackfish, and even the occasional swordfish. Our Fish

Getting To Chumphon How To Get Here How to get to Chumphon by land, air or boat from multiple destinations around thailand. It’s quick and easy to reach Sensui Dive Resort from most domestic departure points. We are located less than an hour from Chumphon airport, just a 10 min drive from Chumphon City centre, and opposite the night boat ferry pier for travel to and from Koh Tao, Koh Phangan, and Koh Samui. When you book your Chumphon diving holiday with us, we can take care of all of your needs in one hassle-free package that includes accommodation, dive courses and fun dive trips. We are one of the only providers offering you the flexibility to explore dive sites around Koh Tao as well as Chumphon Marine Park. You don’t need to worry about schedules or transport in between locations. All you need to do is get to Chumphon, and we’ll take care of the rest. How to get to Chumphon by Plane Chumphon Airport is less than an hour away. You can fly into Chumphon from Bangkok with Nok Air or Air Asia. Nok Air also offers flights from several other domestic locations, including Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, and Udon Thani. Bangkok flights depart from Don Mueng Airport. The airlines that service Chumphon airport are low-cost carriers so meals and checked luggage are not included in the fare. You’ll need to factor this into your travel budget, especially if you plan to bring your dive equipment with you. Flying before diving is no problem, but remember to leave a 12-18 hour surface interval between your last dive and return journey. How to get to Chumphon by Bus The public bus network in Thailand covers travel from various hubs, including Bangkok, Phuket, Surat Thani, and Ranong. However, journey times can be long, and delays are not unusual. So most visitors prefer to travel with a private operator or book a minivan service through a local travel agent. From Bangkok, night buses leave from the Southern Bus Terminal, Sai Tai Mai. However, many prefer the privately operated Lomprayah service, which departs from the Khao San road area. How to get to Chumphon by Train Getting to Chumphon by train is easy from Bangkok, because Chumphon is one of the main stops on the Southern Line. Departing from Hualamphong Station, you can choose to travel by day or night. The journey time varies between 8-10 hours, depending on whether you book a rapid or express train. Many travellers prefer to take a night train so they can sleep on the way. First-class births are all air-conditioned. Second class tickets are available with either AC or fan, and third-class tickets are fan-only. If you are coming from Kanchanaburi, you can book a ticket from Phetburiand Nakhon Pathom, or alternatively, jump onboard at Hua Hin or Prachuap Khiri Khan. Trains are also available from as far south as Sungai Kolok, which is good for visitors travelling north into Thailand from Malaysia. Travelling by train from Trang or Nakhon Si Thammarat is also straightforward, and Suratthani is just a couple of hours away by train. How to get to Chumphon by Boat If you are coming to Chumphon from one of the Gulf Islands, you have the choice of daytime catamaran or speedboat services through Lomprayah, or sleeper boats that depart in the late evening and arrive into Chumphon early the following morning. Our resort is located right opposite the night boat ferry pier for easy check-in upon arrival. How to get to Chumphon by Private Taxi If you’re traveling with a larger group or a lot of dive gear – or both – then a private taxi could be the best option for getting to Chumphon. Prices are reasonable, departure times flexible, and you can make stops along the way as and when you decide. So this can be a great way to travel stress-free while also seeing more sights along the way. Getting around Chumphon For short journeys, motorbike taxis and tuk-tuks are readily available. Car and scooter rental is also an option if you’d like to explore independently during your stay. Chumphon has a wonderful coastline, and there are lots of beautiful beaches and points of interest to visit. Our top picks include the Prince of Chumphon Shrine Khao Matsee Viewpoint, Thung Wua Laen Beach, Cabana Beach, and Mu Ko Chumphon Marine Park. And of course, no stay in Chumphon would be complete without a visit to the bustling Night Plaza. Book Now
