Ko Kaeo

Ko Kaeo is a small coastal locality in southern Thailand near Phuket, set in the Kathu District. It sits along the coastline facing the Malacca Strait, and diving access comes via nearby dive centers and boat departures from wider Phuket-area hubs. With a modest number of sites within reach, most diving options are day trips coordinating from larger towns on Phuket Island or the mainland coast. The water is warm and typically clear, with typical tropical reef and rocky shore habitats accessible through local operators. Overall, Ko Kaeo functions as a quiet gateway point for divers staying in the Phuket region rather than a major standalone diving destination.
