Dive-site story
Situated along the northern headland of Kata Beach on Phuket's west coast, this house reef slopes gently over granite boulders and patch coral formations. Divers typically wade in directly from the sandy shore to explore a mixture of hard corals, sandy channels, and artificial reef cubes. It functions regularly as a training site and an easy muck-and-critter dive when west-coast sea conditions remain calm.
