About Turtle Ledge
Turtle Ledge is a shallow reef dive in the Surin Islands of Thailand, with a gentle slope and a bright shallow section covered in hard coral. The site is named for the turtles that frequent it, and the coral gardens, anemones, and sandy pockets make it an easy place to slow down and look closely. Green and hawksbill turtles, octopus, nudibranchs, triggerfish, snappers, sweetlips, and parrotfish keep the site lively.
