Koh Bon

Dive Location:  Off the south west corner of Koh Bon.
Depth: Average 21m / Maximum 40m

The island’s perimeter here takes the form of a series of small wall-like sections which drop to meet a fringing reef at 32m before sharply dropping to 40m to reach gently sloping sand. Huge sponges and sea fans can be found along the reef in depths of 30-40m.

The wall sections are covered with a mixture of sea anemones encrusting sponges and sea whips. Concealed within the narrow rocky gorges and crevices are octopus, resting cuttlefish, and coral trout being attended to at one of the many cleaning stations around this site. On closer inspection a variety of cleaner shrimps can be witnessed as they tend to their willing hosts.

To the southwest a splendid reef tapers down to the sites maximum depth and is covered in corals teeming with marine life. This is also a great location for regular encounters with manta rays and leopard sharks.
