Diving Destinations |
Bida Island: Koh Bida Noi
and Koh Bida Nok |
Depth 10 to 28 meters These islands are located south of Phi-Phi
Lee and rises almost vertically from the sea! The two islands are among our most
popular dive spots. The most colourful corals are found at 10 to 20 m depth, but
the reef continues down to 28 to 30 m. This is an area of hard coral, with a magnificent
landscape of Gorgonian Sea fans and thousands of curious fish. Octopus thrives
at the rocky bottom where the concentration of corals are highest, so keep your
eyes open - they are hard to spot! At the bottom we also find the Leopard sharks
(Zebra sharks) resting and even sleeping; remember - look but don't touch - and
everybody will have a chance to spend time with these peaceful creatures! . If
you are very lucky you may even get to experience one of the greatest moments
in your life as a diver; swimming with a whale shark! The whale shark is attracted
by the plankton rich waters between the two Bida Islands and will typically be
seen at 8 to 10 m depth. |
| |
Maya Bay, Phi Phi Lee |
Depth 10 to
24 meters This is the bay where you will find "The Beach"! Incredible
beautiful landscape and a beach you have to see to believe it. The bay is surrounded
by steep limestone rocks that rises vertically out of the water. The bay in itself
offers coral reefs with an abundance of tropical fish, a paradise for snorklers.
To one side, Maya Bay offers steep wall diving and small caves open for everyone
to experience. On the other side we find a coral reef where we often meets turtles
casually swimming around us and eating of the reef. Further into the dive the
landscape changes into larger boulders with beautiful Gorgonian sea fans and soft
corals in many colours. The powder white sand in the bay is well protected and
offers perfect conditions for relaxing in between the dives and for snorkling
and swimming. |
| |
Koh Samah Bay |
Depth 10 to 22 meters The dive begins at the west side of the
bay at approx. 9 m depth. We follow the wall down to approx. 18 meters, and at
the end of the wall we find a large valley with soft corals and Gorgonian Sea
fans. The valley is wide enough to swim through and the walls are covered with
an abundance of plant and marine life. Especially Blue striped Angelfish and Butterfly
fish are abundant here and also several species of nudibranch and small reef crabs
may be found in the crevices. |
| |
Anemone Reef |
Depth 5 to 28
meters Anemone Reef is basically two rocks starting from approx. 5 meters
below the surface and continuing to the bottom at approx. 30m. Beautiful soft
corals spreads over these rocks together with an abundance of sea anemones which
naturally named the site. Colours of red, purple and yellow blends together to
produce very nice opportunities for macro photography. Countless little clown
fish inhabits each their little sea anemone, and in the many crevices and small
holes we find several species of Moray Eel. This site is also known for the many
lion fish which can be seen swimming around in the open enjoying the slight current.
|
| |
Shark Point |
Depth 10 to 18 meters This is one of the most popular diving destinations
around Phuket. Most divers come here to experience the friendly and charming Leopard
shark, which is typically found resting on the sandy bottom just of the reef.
Shark Point also offers good macro photo opportunities since it offers some of
the same underwater marine life and scenery as Anemone Reef. |
| |
King Cruiser Wreck |
Depth 8 to 32 meters
Phukets newest diving attraction is the large passenger ship "King Cruiser"
which sank in May 1997, not far from Shark Point and Anemone Reef. King Cruiser
had a capacity of 1000 passengers and is a former car ferry. She is 85 meter in
length and is now lying upright at a maximum depth of 32 m and the shallowest
part around 8 meters. This makes her perfect for divers of all levels of experience.
Since 1997, nature has begun to inhabit King Cruiser. Oysters and anemones has
settled on the wreck and large schools of various reef fish and Golden Barracuda
may be found. Numerous lion fish has also found a safe and protected home on the
decks of King Cruiser.
