This dive site is located on Koh Bon's North Ridge, offering a gently sloping reef that transitions towards the West Ridge and into a sheltered bay. While there's no specific historical account provided, its popularity stems from its accessible depths and diverse marine encounters. Divers can follow the natural contours of the reef, making navigation straightforward.
The rich marine biodiversity includes prominent pelagics such as majestic mantas, various reef sharks, and impressive barracuda. Smaller, yet equally fascinating, inhabitants include snappers, unique foot soles, powerful Napoleons, intriguing dragon heads, elusive octopus, venomous sea snakes, and striking lion fish. The reef itself supports a vibrant array of corals, forming the backbone of this underwater ecosystem.
The site is particularly renowned for encounters with mantas and reef sharks, making it a highlight for big animal enthusiasts. Given its shallow areas and moderate currents, it is suitable for divers of all levels, including beginners. Freedivers will also appreciate the accessible depths and clear conditions. Visiting during the dry season (roughly November to April) generally offers the best conditions and increased chances of encountering larger pelagic species.
