Thailand Scuba Diving Dive Site Directory

Description

This scuba diving site consists of a collection of enormous submerged granite boulders running southeast-northwest, which are more typical of a west-facing coastal rock formation.

They fancifully resemble rocky mountains separated by wide valleys, their sheer sides punctuated occasionally by clusters of soft coral and radiant crinoids; with small crevices housing a diversity of marine life. One of the best spots for scuba diving in Thailand.

watching them!

Many divers unintentionally destroy corals whilst diving. Here are a few guidelines on how to avoid doing so.

• Use the correct amount of weight to aid in your buoyancy.
• Control your fins; keep them away from the reefs and avoid kicking sand onto the corals.
• Do not pick up organic objects (dead or alive) from the sea. Likewise, please do not buy shells or other decorative products made from sea animals.
• Do not stand or rest on the stone-like corals. After all, they are living animals.
