General Info

The reef at Kata Beach is a little gem, good for both diver and snorkeller. The reef, at the north end of the beach (right side looking out to sea,) is a favourite place for scuba diving instructor IDC's and open water courses, and at times the shallow sandy bottom can be quite crowded. But in the main, these courses don't use the reef as they are just doing dive skills practice.
To enter the reef just walk out by the long-tail boats for about 150 metres then descend to the reef. Snorkellers need to head further to the right for some of the best coral reef views in Phuket.
Keeping the reef to your right side, follow it along the sandy bottom to see lots of lion fish and scorpion fish waiting for their prey on the fringes of the reef.

Phuket Day Boat Diving Site Reviews - Kata Beach Reef.

The maximum depth here is around 5 metres with a dive site maximum of 10 metres. Visibility is some times as low as 5 metres with a maximum of 15 due to the slight rip current sending up clouds of sand.

Marine life available is all the usual Phuket Thailand reef dwellers and some harder to find creatures like coral leaf fish and the occasional turtle.

Top dive site for a half tank dive, then a rest, some food and a snooze on the beach, then maybe the other half tank.

Depths: 3/10m. Visibility: 5/15m. Current: Easy . Level 1: Good for all.

Kata beach has one of the best fringe coral reefs available to divers on Phuket.

Kata beach has one of the best fringe coral reefs available on Phuket for walk in beach divers. We offer guided diving tours of the reef on a daily basis. Contact us for more details.
