Shore Diving in Kata Beach

Shore Diving in Kata Beach

The Kata Beach shore diving on the south side of Kata Beach is popular with local diving schools for training, as it’s an easy entry and a short swim to the reef. It’s also a very good way to get an idea of what diving in the Andaman Sea is like. It’s a great training area for beginners or those wanting a refresher before moving on to something more advanced. The coral is in good shape and has many colours, and the marine life is rich and diverse. All the usual Indian Ocean fish species are here, and we get unusual nudibranchs, crabs, shrimp, and sand-dwelling animals. There are many moray eel species on the reef as well. You may even be lucky enough to find a frogfish or ghost pipefish. It makes a great, easy night dive as well.
