Cocoa Thila

Stretched across its channel like a breakwater, Cocoa Thila catches everything the tide delivers. Divers drop up-current and work along terraces where whitetips rest on sand, gray reef sharks patrol mid-water, and thick walls of bluestripe snapper part around the coral heads. Barracuda hang at the edge of visibility with trevally strafing through them. Because the thila is long, groups spread out and the dive feels less trafficked than its reputation suggests. On slack water it mellows into an easy circuit; on a spring tide it is a proper ride.

您此行的高光时刻: Dense snapper walls; patrolling sharks; a thila long enough to absorb the crowds

地形地貌: Long, narrow thila with terraced ledges and sandy patches along its flanks

水流: Best dived on a running tide, which is exactly when it demands good buoyancy and a reef hook.

危险因素: Current, exposure at the channel mouth, and depth along the flanks.

保育: Anchoring is prohibited; boats live-drop and pick up drifting groups.

高氧（Nitrox）: 在此值得使用——各潜点深度落在富氧空气（nitrox）能有效延长免减压时间的区间（前提是持有相应认证）。
