About this dive site

This dive site is situated on the west side of Ko Tae Nai island, just a short 10-minute boat ride south of Thongsala. It features a slowly sloping reef that reaches a maximum depth of 7 meters, offering an easily navigable and gentle underwater environment. A notable highlight is an artificial coral nursery, which contributes to the reef's health and provides additional habitat for marine life. No specific historical events or stories are provided for the dive site.

Divers at Ko Tae Nai can anticipate encountering a rich variety of small tropical reef fish. Common sightings include bannerfish, angelfish, butterfly fish, and seargant majors. The vibrant reef is also home to blue spotted stingrays, and there's a good chance to spot an occasional turtle. The presence of the artificial coral nursery supports a thriving ecosystem, enhancing the biodiversity of smaller species.

The dive site is suitable for visiting year-round, although checking with local dive operators for the most current conditions is always recommended. Its shallow depths and generally mild conditions make it an excellent choice for divers of all experience levels, including beginners. Freedivers and snorkelers will also find the accessible reef and abundant marine life highly rewarding. While currents can sometimes be present, they are usually mild, often creating a pleasant drift.
