About this dive site

This dive site is located on the East Cape of Koh Hey island, offering a vibrant shallow coral reef experience. Divers can navigate along the reef structure, which typically involves following the coral formations. While there isn't extensive historical information, the site is a popular spot for leisure activities due to its accessibility and marine life.

The reef is home to a variety of marine life, including schools of small Barracuda. Other common reef fish like groupers, sweetlips, catfish, and snappers are frequently sighted. The shallow waters support a healthy ecosystem of hard and soft corals, providing shelter and food for numerous smaller invertebrates.

The best time to visit Koh He East Cape is generally during the dry season, from November to April, when sea conditions are typically calmer and visibility is at its best. Divers should be mindful of potential strong currents, especially when planning their dive. For freedivers and snorkelers, the shallow depths and abundant marine life make it an ideal location, but always check current conditions before entering the water.
