StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Koh Torinla, on the eastern side, often offers a gentle introduction to the Mergui Archipelago. We usually drop onto a wide coral plateau, sometimes so shallow it breaks the surface at low tide. It's a busy spot, often thick with cardinalfish, humpnose bigeye bream, and schools of twin-spot and five-lined snappers weaving through the staghorn and massive porites corals. Head a little deeper, to around 30 metres, and you'll find a rocky ridge drawing in larger visitors like batfish and pickhandle barracuda. It’s a good site for an easy dive, especially if you enjoy watching dense schools of fish.
