Ten aircraft have been submerged off Bang Tao Bay in Phuket’s Talang district in the Andaman Sea to form a new artificial coral reef and diving site. The 16-18m deep area where the fleet was sunk has a sand bed, and is one km away from the natural coral reef and the Bang Tao Beach. The fleet of sunken aircraft once belonged to the Royal Thai Air Force. The diving spot is expected to help boost Phuket’s strategic position as a world-class marine tourism center
