About Koh Sak
Koh Sak is a protected Pattaya near-island reef with shallow coral, sandy bays, and a deeper reef edge that keeps the dive easy to read once you are in the water. The site suits beginners, snorkelers, and fun divers who want a compact route, mixed habitat, and a calm-conditions boat day rather than a long or technical offshore run.
