Dive-site story
Situated along the northern coast of Koh Adang inside Tarutao National Marine Park, this site features a sheltered fringing reef that transitions from shallow coral gardens into a sandy seabed. Granite boulders scattered along the reef structure create microhabitats for benthic critters and juvenile fish. Calm conditions make it a regular choice for easy morning dives and training sessions out of nearby Koh Lipe.
Extensive fields of staghorn and massive boulder corals populated by colorful damselfish
Sandy patches harboring well-camouflaged flatfish, gobies, and benthic rays
Sheltered topography offering relaxed navigation away from the fierce currents found in open channels
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
The northeast monsoon brings calm seas and clear water before the southwest monsoon causes rough conditions and park closures.
