StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Ko Bon is where we head when we're hoping for manta rays, particularly between November and May. It's a slope that descends to around 30 metres, covered in hard corals higher up and gorgonian fans deeper. The main draw is the cleaning station, a good spot to wait patiently for the big stuff. Currents can pick up, so it's best for experienced divers comfortable with drift diving.
