Crab Island is just a few hundred meters from the shore of Koh Phuket. The dive site is very shallow with a maximum depth of 10 m. The spot is perfect for dive training, underwater macro photography, and night dives. It is also a great spot for Snorkellers. You can spot Turtles, blue spotted Stingrays and all the usual reef fishes of the Andaman Sea. If you are on the look-out for macro critters, here you can find various species of nudibranch, frogfish and Scoprionfish.

This location is a Reef.

You can dive Crab Island all year long. Access: from the Shore. See the map of Crab Island on the right for the exact location.

Access to the best diving areas of the Andaman Sea and starting point of many liveaboards to Similans and Surin Islands! Good place for cheap diving courses.
