    Karang Tohor gives you a solid reef dive, nothing too dramatic, but consistently enjoyable. We find it’s a good spot for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed drift. The reef here slopes gently, topping out around 20 metres, and you’ll often find schools of yellowtail snappers holding formation against the mild current. Keep an eye out for resident green turtles grazing on the hard corals. It’s a comfortable morning dive, usually with decent visibility, making it easy to just unwind and watch the reef unfold.
