Koh Bitsi is a boat-access drift and reef site located off Koh Adang. Divers explore hard and soft coral structures at depths ranging from 5 to 17 metres, with an average depth of 12 metres. Visibility varies between 8 and 25 metres. Due to moderate currents that can strengthen quickly, this site is best suited for intermediate divers with drift experience. Always confirm current direction with your operator before entry, as it can shift between morning and afternoon. Hazards include lionfish, sharks, and strong currents. Divers should scan the reef before touching surfaces and maintain a clear plan for group signalling.

Time your dive to coincide with an incoming current rather than fighting the outflow, as this pushes you along the reef face and tends to concentrate fish activity. Check current direction with your operator before gearing up, as it can shift considerably between morning and afternoon.
