Dive-site story
AlotMeant is an artificial reef and coral nursery site located off the west coast of Koh Tao. Built using engineered metal structures, concrete blocks, and recycled materials, the project was created to cultivate coral fragments and relieve diver pressure on natural fringing reefs. The site features various experimental nursery domes where transplanted branching and table corals provide habitat for reef fish in sheltered, shallow water.
Submerged metal domes and propagation tables actively growing transplanted corals
Close-up macro photography opportunities among artificial structural frames
Sheltered conditions suitable for ecological monitoring, training, and buoyancy practice
