Dive-site story
Set along the southern coast of Koh Adang facing the strait toward Koh Lipe, this site features a sloping fringing reef composed of large Porites coral bommies, staghorn thickets, and sandy channels. The shallow reef flat transitions into a steady incline where macro critters and schooling reef fish congregate around scattered boulders. Tidal flow running through the channel between the islands can bring intermittent drift conditions, though the site generally offers a calm profile suited to relaxed exploration and training.
Extensive hard coral gardens featuring massive boulder corals and branching Acropora
Macro life sheltering in sandy rubble patches between coral heads
Gentle reef slope ideal for extended bottom times and safety stops
