Why dive here
With 54+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, tiger sharks and pufferfish - Reefers offers some of Koh Tao's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Reefers is a solid, easy dive on Koh Tao, often a good first boat dive of the day or a relaxed afternoon option. We usually find it’s a gently sloping coral reef, reaching down to about 18 meters or so, perfect for working on buoyancy or just enjoying the swim-throughs. Keep an eye out for the resident blue-lined rock cod tucked into crevices, and you’ll inevitably spot schools of scissortail sergeants zipping past. It’s a comfortable site, good for newer divers or those who prefer a less demanding but still engaging experience.
