Flexible Trat reef with easy sections and drift potential.
Banana Bay is a Trat-area reef dive with a broad experience range, where gentler sections can suit training and easier sightseeing while other parts of the site can feel more active when the water starts moving. It is best treated as a flexible reef plan with hard coral, some soft coral, and enough fish life to reward divers who match the route to the day’s current.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Includes areas suitable for training and other sections suited to drift diving.
Freediving

Snorkeling
Banana Bay is not always the easiest snorkel site because current-sensitive sections can change the feel of the water quickly.
