Dive-site story
Finger Reef lies on the sheltered side of Koh Manwichai within Pattaya's Far Islands chain. The site is named for several distinct finger-shaped hard coral and rock ridges that extend perpendicular from the island's coastline down toward a sandy sea floor. The protected topography makes it a mainstay for both training dives and relaxing reef explorations, surrounded by scattered porites coral heads, sea anemones, and soft coral patches.
