koh bida nai:
a wall drops to around 25 - 30 m and stretches from the north to the west side. as exciting it is to check the blue waters for something bigger passing by, don't miss the hidden secrets in the gorgonian fans and cracks. seahorses and ghost pipe fishes are regularly spotted here.
a nice swim through and a canyon at 14 m is formed by big rocks that rise from the seabed to 6 m in the south. nudybranchs on the walls, as well as many tiny white eye morays!
a dense coral garden growing on the shallower soft slops in the south and the east make the dive a special experience for beginners and floating over an extended staghorn coral field at 12 - 14 m, everything from clownfish to great barracudas can be encountered.
the 'fantasy reef' further in the east is completely submerged (12 - 30+ m) and attracts a great quantity of marine life of all sizes. gorgonian seafans, staghorn corals and anemones shelter all kinds of tropical reef fishes, while barracudas, batfishes and hunting trevallies circle around for prey. check the sandy bottom around for resting leopard sharks.
this is a fantastic divesite and it's definitely one of our favourites.
