Coral ridge with schooling fish off Ko Batong

About Sail Rock, Ko Batong
Sail Rock, Ko Batong is a submerged ridge on the Tarutao National Marine Park far-islands run, off the back of Koh Dong. The site mixes hard-coral ledges, soft coral patches, and sandy pockets that pull in schooling fish, batfish, stingrays, and occasional turtles. Plan it as a boat dive with a local operator, because the same ridge can feel easy on a mild tide and much more demanding when the current picks up.
