About Junkyard
This shallow Koh Tao artificial-reef dive is built around repurposed structures that now support marine life and coral nursery growth. The route is more about slow buoyancy-controlled cruising over quirky habitat than covering distance, and it works best as a relaxed training or novelty dive rather than a current-heavy profile.
