About
45 Min journey to the most popular local dive sites
of Koh Si and Ko Ha. Hard plates and soft corals,
rock formations and columns forms the background
and home for a vast amount of little fish. But also
meetings with black tip sharks aren't rare. Even
whale sharks have already come to this place.

Shark
Point
approx.
21m deep
Shark
Point can be reached from Ao Nang in approximately
90 minutes by boat. It is recognizable by the tip
of a rock, which just protrudes from the water's
surface. Three reefs, all of which are rich in aquatic
life, are under environmental protection. Shark
point was named after the harmless leopard sharks,
which can regularly be found in the area. Without
a doubt one of the most beautiful dive sites in
the region! Visibility up to 25m, depths up to 26m.

The
Anemone Reef
Approximately
500m from Shark Point, one can find the Anemone
Reef, which lies at a depth of about 6m. As the
name says, this reef is almost completely covered
in anemones at its highest point. As with Shark
Point, many species of fish and coral can be found
here. Besides leopard sharks, swarms of barracudas,
moraines, tuna fish and small nurse sharks can be
found here - the trained eye may even find scorpion
fish. This is also a great dive site that one will
always want to come back to. Visibility up to 25m,
depths up to 22m.

Ko
Bida Nok / Ko Bida Nai
Location:
This two three
star dive sites are two large outcrops directly
south of Phi Phi Ley.
The
prime two spots in the southwest section, where
large rocks form a mountainous terrain, featuring
walls that drop to elevated ledges. There are many
Gorgonian Sea Fans, Sea Whips and colorful Soft
Corals. Lots of Bearded Scorpion Fish disguise themselves
amid the rocks, and various species of Lion Fish
hover between. Varying sizes and species of colorful
Parrotfish and Wrasse, along with large shoals of
Moorish Idols, seem to be at all depths. The higher
ledges have numerous Sea Anemones well populated
by Clownfish. On top of all this you can very often
find Leopard Sharks over the sand and various Blennies
and Gobies. Even Manta Rays and Whale Sharks are
often found here!

and April, you may even come across a whale shark.

King
Cruiser
Wreck
Diving
The
structure of King Cruiser attracts a high diversity
of marine life and the formation of an artificial
reef is well underway; numerous invertebrates have
taken to shelter beneath small sheets of Peeling
Paint and Morays lie in wait under rows of seats,
now acting as lairs.
Around the barnacle-encrusted frame are schools
of Juvenile Fish which seemingly increase in size
and number with every visit. Daylight penetrates
the majority of the wreck but there is still a number
of areas that would be better explored with the
aid of an artificial light source.

Hin
Daeng-Hin Muang
(only Live-A-Board Trips)
These
world-class dive sites surely belong to the best
in the whole of Thailand. They are well known due
to the multitude of whale sharks and manta rays,
which are most abundant between January and April.
Visibilty up to 30m, depths that clearly exceed
the limits of sport diving!
