Dive-site story
Hon Tai South is located off the southern tip of Hon Tai within the Cu Lao Cham Marine Protected Area. Massive granite boulders dominate the underwater landscape, giving way to a gentle slope covered in hard and soft corals. Divers navigate around swim-throughs formed by tumbled rock structures before sweeping across fields of staghorn and table corals.
Submerged granite boulder formations create sheltered crevices and small swim-throughs
Dense clusters of sea anemones colonized by multiple species of clownfish
Expansive patches of hard coral gardens along the outer reef slope
