About Tor 13
Tor 13 is Khao Lak's artificial reef and underwater museum, reached by short boat trips and best treated as a shallow, beginner-friendly wreck-and-reef dive. The site combines a former navy vessel with trucks, concrete blocks, and other structures that are still building coral cover, creating a compact training-friendly area with plenty of fish life and classic macro sightings.
