Koh Khrok
The closest island dive to Pattaya: a sloping reef from about 5 to 12 m with a large anemone garden and clownfish at the south end, hard corals and sea fans. Hawksbill turtles are seen often, occasionally green turtles too. The sheltered KK Bay is known for big seahorses by day and is a popular night dive with morays, octopus, squid and cuttlefish.
