A colorful set of reefs along the coast of the island with the richness of coral gardens and largest schools of fish.

The East Side has mainly hard coral fringe reefs, and at the Northeast tip lies the wreck of the Andaman Explorer. Set in a beautiful sand fringed bay, the west side of the island offers underwater scenery akin to the north side although one could argue that the coral growth is better.

Beginners will start their dive in a nice shallow bay with a sandy bottom surrounded by colorful coral gardens. Certified divers will be dropped in deeper water (60 feet) and will enjoy exciting drift dives encountering Blue spotted sting ray, schools of Barracuda, Grouper, colorful reef fishes and the unforgettable Trigger fish.
