Acerca de Chalok Bay

Chalok Bay es una bahía resguardada en el lado sur de Koh Tao, con fácil acceso desde la costa, una entrada desde playa poco profunda y un borde de arrecife apto para principiantes. Funciona mejor como base de aguas tranquilas para inmersiones de entrenamiento y tiempo relajado en la playa, con la actividad submarina más útil en la pendiente exterior y en las calas cercanas, más que en el centro arenoso de la bahía.

Local Intel For Chalok Bay

Community notes to help plan your visit.

Scuba

Beginner-friendly training dives work best on the outer reef slope, where the depth stays manageable and the water is usually calm.

Freedive

Freediving is possible in the sheltered bay, but the site is mainly useful for easy-water practice rather than a dedicated freedive objective.

Snorkel

The shallow edge is the best place to snorkel on calm days; the bay center stays very shallow, so use care around coral at low tide.
