Current and access make local guidance essential.
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.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
7m - 15m
Depth Note
Advanced north-tip reef point in the 7-15 m band, with current being the main planning factor.
Best Season
February to May for the clearest water and the best whale-shark odds; outside that window the site is more weather-sensitive.
Typical Conditions
Exposed north-tip reef with hard coral, modest visibility, and current that can turn a short dive into a sharper one.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Treat Chong Talu as a current-sensitive advanced dive and keep a tight entry/exit plan.
Access Restrictions
Plan this through the local Koh Talu dive operation; it is not a casual unguided shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow the dive center's current-condition guidance and any local reef access rules.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for experienced divers who are comfortable with current and a tight profile on hard-coral structure.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the current and exposure make scuba the better fit.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-led site; the current-sensitive reef point is better left to scuba.
