The marine life here is abundant and diverse. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of fish species such as false clown anemone fish, grouper, parrot fish, butterfly fish, angel fish, and surgeon fish. The extensive reef also hosts beautiful bubble corals, giant barrel sponges, and majestic giant gorgonian sea fans. A highlight for many visitors is the frequent sighting of hawksbill sea turtles.
The best time to visit this dive site, typical for the Andaman Sea, is during the dry season from November to April when sea conditions are calm and visibility is excellent.
