Hin Muang - Koh Lanta & Phi Phi
Blue Water Mangrove in Raja Ampat offers a different kind of dive. Here, you're exploring the roots and submerged branches of the mangrove forest, a unique habitat for juvenile reef fish and smaller critters. It’s a good spot for macro enthusiasts and photographers looking for something beyond a typical coral reef. The calm, shallow water also makes it a nice, relaxed dive for any skill level.
