Koh Talang North is a Koh Lipe boat dive on granite steps and walls.
Reachable by boat from Koh Lipe, with current and park timing best handled by a local guide.
Koh Talang North is a Koh Lipe boat dive on granite steps and wall sections that read clearly in the water. Hard coral clings to the rock, and the site rewards slow macro searching as much as the broader reef shape. Currents can change the feel of the dive, so it works best as a guided boat trip that can adjust to tide and wind. Expect a mix of small reef life and the occasional larger fish passing through.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Watch the current direction, stay close to the guide on the deeper face, and slow down for coral cracks and sand pockets.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Use the shallow steps first, then work along the granite and coral faces for macro life and the deeper wall sections.
Freediving
Freediving is only a side option on the shallowest steps and calm days; scuba is the better fit for the route and current.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to calm, shallow water near the top of the steps; the site is mainly a scuba boat dive.
