Mu Koh Angthon National Marine Park - Gulf of Thailand

Mu Koh Angthon National Marine Park is an easy dive, a solid choice for newer divers in the Gulf. With a maximum depth of 12 meters, you're looking at a relaxed pace, perfect for getting comfortable with buoyancy or just enjoying a chill afternoon underwater. We’ve found decent patches of hard corals, brain and staghorn mainly, and you’ll usually spot damselfish, rabbitfish, and a few parrotfish munching away. Visibility can be a bit variable, especially after heavy rain, but on a good day, it’s a pleasant drift among the calmer sections, and sometimes a turtle will cruise by.
