    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Koh Kwang is a shallow, gentle introduction to diving in the Similans, ideal for beginners or snorkelers. The maximum depth of 7 meters means plenty of light illuminates the sandy bottom and scattered coral heads. We usually find plenty of small reef fish here, along with an occasional turtle cruising by. It’s a nice spot for a relaxed, easy dive.
