Diving Amongst The Demons
Sculptures of traditional Thai demons have been placed underwater off the coast of Phuket to create an underwater diving park for scuba enthusiasts.
Sculptures worth 4 million baht have been placed on the seabed at a depth of 15 meters close to Koh Racha Yai, and are being promoted as a special “must see” site for divers in the coming high season. Phuket Diving Park, as the site is now known, features sculptures including Thai demons (yak), traditional decorative arches, a sala, two elephants and a giant pearl oyster. Over time they are expected to become artificial reefs, attracting a variety of sea life.

Koh Racha Yai is off the coast of Phuket, and a popular daytrip destination for dive operators.
