Koh Ma Tang Ming |
Dive Location: Immediately north of Koh Podah Nai.
Depth: Average 6m / Maximum 14m
Although this is not one of the area’s better sites, it merits a mention as it has reasonable diversities of both marine life and hard corals making it a rewarding introduction dive to the area. Close inspection of the submerged rocks is recommended, as numerous members of the scorpaenidae family – such as bearded scorpionfish and stonefish – are concealed on the rocky ledges. Small yellow boxfish, rock basslets, moorish idols and bannerfish add colour, as do trees of soft corals.
Hard corals are represented by staghorn, brain and some small boulders of coral porites. The best area for snorkellers is around the eastern side where, close to the rock, there are many sea whips, large plate corals and associated reef inhabitants.
