Excellent Marine life with good chances to spot Leopard sharks, Manta Rays and even a Whale Shark!
Viz was amazing! Saw everything and more…..huge Barracuda off-reef, enormous shoals of Rainbow Runners darting for huge clouds of smaller fish, nurse sharks…you name it. Was a brilliant experience, as was Hin Daeng.
