The site offers relaxed drift diving conditions, making it a reliable destination for day trips departing from Phuket or Chalong Pier. Divers frequently encounter resting benthic sharks and rays along the sandy perimeter, while dense schools of reef fish shelter among large Porites and Acropora coral colonies.
Extensive hard coral gardens dominated by massive Porites and staghorn formations
Frequent sightings of zebra sharks resting on sandy flats beyond the reef edge
Sheltered conditions suitable for multi-level navigation and easy drift dives
