Koh Klung Baden – west reef |
Dive Location: About 5km south of Koh Hu Chang.
Depth: Average 8m / Maximum 12m
Numerous mounds and heads of coral abound, notably staghorn, as well as coral laminates. This is a very good location for snorkelling. To the northwest the reef becomes a relatively shallow fringing reef whose flat and slope consist mainly of rocks and sponges. Compressed barrel sponges shelter small crustaceans and invertebrates.
The fish life at this site is reasonable with numbers and varieties of chromis, basslet, blenny, gobies and bannerfish, plus a few resident bicolour parrotfish and wrasse.
