Isolated Reef - Kenting National Park
Isolated Reef in Kenting offers a straightforward dive, good for those looking for a relaxed exploration. You'll find a mix of hard and soft corals here, providing shelter for the usual reef fish like damselfish and parrotfish. It's generally a gentle drift, making it a decent spot for newer divers to practice buoyancy and enjoy the reefscape without strong currents. We often see nudibranchs on the coral bommies.
