Shark Point Marine Sanctuary
Leopard Shark

Situated between Phuket and Krabi are the three popular dive sites of Shark Point, Anemone Reef and the King Cruiser Wreck all within a one km radius of each other. Aqua Vision dives all three of these sites in one "Super Day".

Until it's sinking in early 1997, the 87m long King Cruiser operated as a car ferry between Phuket and Phi Phi. It met it's fate after striking Anemone Reef and tearing a hole in its hull. It now rest perfectly upright on the sand in 30 meters depth.

It is home to a huge variety of fish and marine life, especially schooling juvenile barracuda, sweetlips and trevallies. Both Shark Point and Anemone Reef are pinnacle like rock formations with Shark Point breaking the surface and Anemone Reef beginning about 5 meters below it. Beautiful tropical reef fish school here in large numbers. Colourful soft corals and anemones cover the rocks like a living carpet.

Hin Daeng
Whale Shark at Hin Daeng

Without doubt one of Thailands best dive sites. Located southwest of the Phi Phi Islands it out of range for the big dive boats, and is visited exclusively from Ao Nang beach by by our private speedboat.

It has only been in the last few years that divers have begun visiting this area drawn to its remote location by the almost constant presence of majestic Whale Sharks and Manta Rays, as well as large schools of other species of fish and sharks.

The Southern side of the pinnacle drops off almost straight down to a depth of over 60 meters making it the deepest wall dive in Thailand. This unusual rock although teeming with smaller sea life, a sparse coating of soft corals and a few sea fans seems almost barren when compared with the rest of the site, but is a good place to hang out for Whale Sharks and Manta sightings.

The Eastern side gently slopes off along two long narrow ridges until they disappear into unreachable depths. By descending along the wall to a depth of 30 meters you are likely to encounter huge schools of Trevallies, Jacks and Tuna sometimes so thick they appear as a solid wall of silver. Large Barracudas sweep past the ridge as they stalk the feeding Needle-Fish and Long Toms. The sheer amount of marine life you find here makes the long journey worth every minute.Gallery

Hin Muang
Manta Ray

This site is totally submerged and is located just a few hundred meters north of Hin Daeng. This unique dive site is so completely covered with lush purple soft corals that it actually seems to glow, and it attracts the most incredible amount of marine life you will find anywhere. Compared with the relatively barren rocks of Hin Daeng it's as if you are swimming in an entirely different ocean and not just a short distance away.

This limestone pinnacle stretches for more than 200 meters in length and in some places is less than 20 meters in width. The almost vertical walls are carpeted with anemones and colorful sea fans and the numerous little caves, ledges, and rocky outcroppings provide shelter for virtually every underwater creature found in Southeast Asia, and seems to be a magnet for every Manta Ray in the region, with Mantas regularly in groups of 5 or more hanging out here for days.

Koh Ha Yai Caverns
Ko Ha Yai Thailand

The Ko Ha Yai Islands are a group of stunning and remote islands situated about a one and a half hour speedboat trip from the Krabi mainland. The dive sites here our high amongst our favourites with (nearly) always amazing visibility, fantastic swim throughs, plus the between dives snorkeling is truly outstanding.

Depths range from 3 to 34 metres with an abundance of marine life attracted by the Islands labyrinth of small caves, caverns and crevices. The first dive includes a cavern with two entrances at 5 and 16 metre depths, with a cathedral like interior that stretches 30 metres above the surface. Light filtering in through the water creates a magical atmosphere and since the surface is accessible at any time during the dive even less experienced diver can visit this truly unforgettable site.

Local Islands & Reefs
Ghost Pipefish

If you're with the family and want to get "Out & Back" as quickly as possible, or if you're not attracted by the more well known and unjustly famous Phi Phi Islands, try a short journey aboard our private speedboat or a traditional Thai longtail boat to the stunning limestone islands in Ao Nang bay. The islands are surrounded by shallow water, fringing coral reefs where diving depths reach 20 meters and visibility is around 10-15 meters.

A huge variety of juvenile reef fish inhabit the shallow waters found here before moving off to the more dangerous deeper waters further offshore. regular visitors are all types of clownfish, yellowfin barracuda, titan triggerfish and black tip reef sharks. Some of our favourite sites include Ko See, Ko Ha, Ko Taloo, Ko Daeng, Ko Mae Urai and Ko Yawa Sam.
