Koh Reath

Koh Reath is a beginner-friendly dive site near Koh Kood in the eastern Gulf of Thailand that offers an alternative entry to the reef surrounding this small island. With a maximum depth of fourteen meters and the clear, calm water characteristic of the Koh Kood area, this site provides easy diving in pristine conditions that showcase the quality of the eastern Gulf's less-visited marine environments. The reef features healthy coral communities growing on the island's rocky substrate. The coral diversity and coverage reflect the benefits of the Koh Kood area's low development pressure and limited diving traffic. Hard corals form the reef structure while soft corals and anemones add biological variety. The exceptional water clarity allows full appreciation of the reef's colors and textures. Marine life is diverse and includes species typical of well-maintained Gulf reef systems. Fish populations are healthy and relatively unhabituated to divers, displaying more natural behaviors than at heavily visited sites. Schools of fusiliers and snappers provide movement, while reef species animate the coral gardens. The macro life rewards careful observation. This entry to the Koh Reath reef system offers slightly different reef features and marine encounters, making it worth visiting as a complementary dive to explore the full extent of the island's underwater environment. The combination of easy conditions, healthy reef, and the pristine character of the Koh Kood area makes every dive here a pleasure.
