The catamaran slips away from Coco Pier as morning light paints the Andaman; salt and diesel mix in the air while deckhands hand out a light breakfast and a quick briefing. You move from the open swell into calmer turquoise pockets—Khai Nok’s shallow shelf invites a first dip, Bamboo Island offers bleached sand underfoot, and limestone cliffs loom like living walls around Pileh Lagoon.

If new to snorkeling, try floating practice at the pier or during the first calm stop to get comfortable.
