StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Candy Canyon, sitting right in the heart of the Mergui Archipelago, really lives up to its name. We’re talking soft corals in serious candy colours – vibrant oranges, yellows, pinks, and purples that just pop against the limestone canyons and pinnacles. It’s a bit of a critter hotspot, thanks to all those nooks and crannies. You’ll spend most of your dive scanning for nudibranchs, fancy shrimp, and feather stars tucked into every crevice. If you love a slow, observant dive, hunting for the small stuff, this place is definitely for you.
