Kata Beach North Reef
★★★★☆
(5,023)
Kata Beach North Reef divers can avoid expensive boat trips to remote destinations throughout the diving season as this site is close and easy to get to. Different creatures move into different areas at different times; no two dives on Kata are ever the same.
The sandy area is the deepest part of Kata so it is recommended as the first dive of the day. Later in the day, around mid-morning, nudibranchs tend to be more active.
