Coral Island is located south-east of Ao Chalong. The dive site is usually used for Diving courses in Phuket as the conditions are usually good with very light current. Marine life is diverse and coral is good. Coral Island is also a very well-known and therefore popular place for Snorkelling on the shallow reef which is situated just a few meters away from the Beach. Snorkelling tours can be arranged very easily in Phuket.
You can dive Coral Island all year long. Access: Boat. See the map of Coral Island on the right for the exact location.
