Surin Islands — Turtle Ledge Dive Site — Thailand
About Surin Islands — Turtle Ledge
Part of the pristine Mu Koh Surin National Park, Turtle Ledge is named for the green and hawksbill turtles that rest on its rocky overhangs. The wall drops to 25 meters with excellent hard coral coverage and visibility regularly exceeding 30 meters. Banded sea kraits, large Napoleon wrasse, and schools of oriental sweetlips make this remote site worth the journey.
