★★★★☆
(2,815)
Koh Tachai East Reef offers a gentle sloping reef from 5-10m down to a sandy bottom at 20-30m. It’s an easy, relaxing dive with abundant hard corals. Often called “Leopard Shark Reef“ for good reason, it’s also great for sunset and night dives, with potential for barracudas and schools of trevally.
Features abundant hard corals (staghorn, brain, fire). Expect leopard sharks on the sand, plus schools of barracudas and trevally. Also see reef fish, moray eels, and nudibranch
