Boat-accessed Chumphon island with rocky reef and artificial coral.
Koh Jorakea is a small Chumphon island with a rocky perimeter, scattered stone piles, and artificial reef sections that draw mixed reef life around the island. It is best planned as a calm-weather boat dive with a compact but varied profile, seasonal visibility swings, and limited shore-side support. Local fishing activity and moorings also mean divers should stay alert to gear and navigation around the site.
