Koh Torinla

別名： Koh Khai · Ko Torinla East · Torinla Reef · Torinla East

The east side of Koh Torinla, the island the Thais call Koh Khai, is covered by a vast reef of staghorn and massive porites corals that reaches the surface at low tide. It slopes gently from the beach into diving depth and stays healthy far into the shallows, so snorkellers and divers can share the site. Hawksbill and green turtles are common, together with bumphead parrotfish, batfish and Jenkins whiprays. A rocky ridge offshore draws whitetip reef sharks and pickhandle barracuda, and the sand around it hosts the colourful Andaman jawfish. Dive centres rate it as an easy site for beginners.
