About Chong Talu
Chong Talu is a north-tip reef point on Koh Talu in Thailand, set up for experienced divers who can handle current. The site wraps a hard-coral slope with enough structure for a tight, moving-water pass, and the main draw is the chance of whale-shark encounters alongside anemones and other reef life. Treat it as a strong-condition dive rather than a casual sightseeing reef.
