About Paradise Reef
Paradise Reef is a sheltered beach-side reef in Patong Bay that works well for beginner divers and snorkelers when the sea is settled. The reef slopes gently from the beach into modest depth, with sand patches, hard corals, and plenty of small reef life. Plan it as a low-stress Phuket training site that is still sensitive to west wind and wave conditions.
