Doc MaiKoh Doc Mai offers great wall diving where U/W enthusiasts can often find frog fish, pipe fish and sea horses hiding around huge sea fans.
A single limestone outcrop is what in Thai is called “The Flower Island”, with sheer cliffs dropping down to the waterline and carrying on as a beautiful wall below the surface with small caves and lots of cracks and crevices to explore. The wall of this underwater cliff is encrusted with invertebrate marine life, incl. soft corals, sea fans, zigzag oysters and colonies of other bivalves, sponges and rich colored encrusting coralline. Unexpected encounters with big fish are not uncommon. Snappers, Fusiliers, Sweepers, Stingrays, Bamboo Sharks and Morays are some of the inhabitants of this site.
L’ile Fleurie, Koh Doc Mai en Thailandais, est une forteresse naturelle don’t les parois verticales plongent sous la surface et se transforment en un superbe mur compose de crevasses et de petites grottes qui invitent a l’exploration. Ce mur est incruste d’Huitres, de Coraux et de Bivalves. Les Vivaneaux, Fusilliers, Raies, les Murenes et les Requins Bamboo sont des residents permanents de Koh Doc Mai.
