    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Ao Suthhep is a sheltered bay, a nice spot for a relaxed dive in the Mergui Archipelago. We're talking a maximum depth of 13 metres, so it’s wonderfully easy for newer divers or anyone wanting a gentle afternoon soak. You’ll find a sandy bottom with scattered bommies, often attracting smaller reef fish and some interesting macro life if you take your time to look. Keep an eye out for colourful nudibranchs on the rocks. It's a great warm-up dive or a pleasant way to end the day, especially if you’ve had a few stronger currents elsewhere.
