This dive site, Stone Coral Garden, is a vibrant and shallow underwater oasis known for its extensive hard coral formations that stretch from a maximum depth of 12 meters all the way to a secret beach. The topography consists of large coral structures where sun rays playfully penetrate, creating a truly magical atmosphere for divers to explore at leisure. There is no complex navigation; divers can simply follow the beautiful reef.
The marine life here is abundant and diverse, especially known for its schools of glassfish and various juvenile reef fish. Divers can also encounter larger species such as barracudas, moray eels, and snapper. The 'huge variety of hard corals' themselves form a living ecosystem, providing shelter and food for countless smaller creatures.
While specific seasonal highlights are not mentioned, the site is generally best visited during Thailand's dry season (November to May) for optimal visibility. Its shallow nature makes it exceptionally suitable for beginners and those seeking a relaxed dive. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find this site incredibly rewarding due to its vibrant, shallow reef and teeming fish life.
