Turtle House Reef is a close-in house reef on Kri Island with a gently sloping coral profile and straightforward shore access from the local dive base. It suits relaxed reef cruising more than hard-current diving, with soft and hard coral on the slope, light current, steady reef-fish action along the edge, and a layout that keeps the dive simple from briefing to entry.

A shallow reef slope with simple shore access and light current, suited to an easy reef dive.
Freediving
Shallow upper reef and light current make it a workable freedive option on calm days, especially if you stay close to the slope.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is best on calm days over the shallow top of the reef; the coral slope and fish action make the site more rewarding than a flat sand patch.
