StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Ao Bon in the Mergui Archipelago is a straightforward dive, perfect if you’re just getting comfortable in the water. It’s a shallow spot, topping out at 15 meters, which makes for plenty of bottom time and a relaxed pace. We’ve found it’s a good place to spot smaller reef inhabitants tucked into the crevices – think nudibranchs, pipefish, and juvenile angelfish. The visibility here can be quite good, especially in the mornings, allowing for some nice wide-angle shots of the reef structure. It’s not going to blow your mind with massive schools, but it’s a genuinely pleasant and easy dive.
