Coral Reef" in the Gulf of Thailand is a decent, straightforward dive. You'll find plenty of staghorn coral here, providing cover for smaller fish like honeycomb groupers and the occasional longnose butterflyfish. It’s a comfortable depth for those newer to diving or looking for a relaxed afternoon spent watching wrasse dart between the coral branches. We've often seen black-blotched wrasse and golden rabbitfish grazing. It's not a site that will blow your hair back, but it's a pleasant, easy dive.
