Dive-site story
Located on the northern coast of Green Island, Chaikou features a dedicated ocean walkway that extends across the shallow fringing reef flat directly into the water. Divers drop into a gentle marine terrace composed of massive branching Acropora thickets, soft coral gardens, and scattered coral heads interspersed with white sand patches.
Concrete walkway providing direct entry over the intertidal reef platform
Expansive fields of staghorn and table corals covering the seabed
Dense populations of anemonefish living among large sea anemone carpets
Favorable lee conditions during the summer south-southwest monsoon
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Spring through autumn offers optimal sea conditions before the winter northeast monsoon brings heavier swells to the northern shore.
