Why dive here
With 537+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, seahorses, sea turtles and sperm whales - Hong-Chai offers some of Kenting National Park's richest diving. Water ranges 24-30°C, warmest July, August, September.
Hong-Chai offers a straightforward shore dive, handy for shaking off the rust or just getting wet when conditions elsewhere are tricky. You’ll find a mix of rocky reef and sand patches, with plenty of smaller critters like nudibranchs, gobies, and a few shy moray eels tucked into crevices. It's a solid choice for a relaxed afternoon, particularly if you’re into macro photography or just getting comfortable again after a break.
