Dive-site story
Situated along the sheltered lee of Koh Klung Badan in Pattaya's Far Islands, this bay features a gently sloping seabed scattered with massive Porites coral heads, table corals, and sprawling staghorn thickets. Divers explore patches where rocky outcroppings meet wide sand flats, providing ample hiding spots for bottom-dwelling critters. The site often serves as a calm anchorage when outer island sites experience rougher swells.
Extensive hard coral gardens dominated by brain and boulder corals
Frequent encounters with blue-spotted ribbontail rays resting on sand patches
Macro photography opportunities among sea anemones and coral crevices
