Koh Torinla

Dive Location:  Off the southwest tip of Koh Surin Tai.
Depth: Average 12m / Maximum 27m

The eastern area has a small garden of magnificent sea anemones which are hosted by pink skunk and Clark’s anemonefish. Small groupers and coral trout shelter beneath many fine flower corals. Beyond these gardens, are numerous smooth porous corals – including lesser and greater star – with schools of bicolour parrotfish, blue-spotted groupers and pairs of Emporer angelfish all venturing between the rocks.

The rocks in the shallows host hermit crabs, urchins and cleaner shrimps, and are rich with colourful featherstars. This is one of the few locations in Thai waters where large numbers of bumphead parrotfish are still frequently seen.
