Koh Tachai, North Reef

★★★★☆ (892)

Koh Tachai North Reef is a sloping hard coral reef leading to a sandy bottom (5-30m). It’s an easy, relaxing dive, great for beginners and night dives. Often called “Leopard Shark Reef“ due to common sightings on the sand. You’ll also find barracudas, schools of trevally, and diverse reef fish.

Tachai North features healthy hard corals like staghorn and brain. It’s excellent for spotting leopard sharks on the sand, along with schools of barracudas and trevally.
