About Karon cubes
Karon cubes is a concrete artificial reef off the front of Karon Beach in Phuket, built as two cube stacks over sand. It is a longtail-boat dive with a compact layout that rewards slow, controlled scanning rather than a big swim. Fishing traps around the cubes and the site's advanced rating make it better for confident divers than casual beach-day snorkelers. Expect rays, snapper schools, frogfish, lionfish, and macro life.
