Koh Rok Nai |
Dive Location: The northern of the two Koh Rok islands.
Depth: Average 12m / Maximum 20m
This is a good site at all depths. The diving is around the southern coast, heading slightly northeast. This is also a reasonable snorkelling site, and offers good night-diving, since conditions are almost always calm at night. The reef slopes gently and there are lots of hard corals, including brain and table staghorn, and many barrel sponges.
The reef-fish are reasonably plenteous; they include bannerfish, large schools of moorish idols, a good variety of anemonefish and on occasion, turtles. Away from the reef, large barracuda, tuna and jacks pass by.
The west coast of the island is where all the beaches are
