Its steep walls are known to house pelagic species, while deeper waters are adorned with sea whips, gorgonians and several excellent examples of black coral. Marine species such as groupers, angel fish, clown fish and triggerfish are colourful and common. Although visibility is often less then ten meters it is considered as one of Ko Chang's top diving destinations. Mainly its numerous marine species, healthy soft corals and convenient location have awarded it this status. It is an easy and shallow dive site suitable for everyone.
