This small island lies just offshore to the southeast of Koh Tao. The northern edge is shallower at around 12 meters and is home to a vast array of coral fish that live amidst the beautiful and extensive coral gardens. The deeper side to the south ranges upwards from 27 meter where you might be lucky enough to find leopard or black tip reef sharks and chevron barracuda. You'll see plenty of parrotfish feeding on the coral and also the resident titan triggerfish so there is plenty to see so keep your eyes peeled.
