Recreational Diving

The Andaman Coast

Ao Nang is in Krabi Province on Thailand’s Andaman Coast, this is where we are.

Dive Sites and Marine Species

The famous Phi Phi Islands are just 30 kms from Ao Nang. There are dozens of dive sites around the islands.
At each site you will see hard and soft corals and lots of tropical reef fish of many, many species.
In this area there are; hawksbill turtles, zebra (leopard) sharks, blacktip reef sharks and the occasional whale shark. If you want to see nudibranchs and sea horses then let us know….

We also have easy access to other dive areas apart from the Phi Phi Islands. Each area offers different marine environments and dive experiences.

Wrecks

If you like to see wrecks then we have the old and well corroded King Cruiser, now well on the way to being claimed by the reef. It’s a sanctuary too many fish which attracts bigger silver predatory species and much of the super structure is turning into fields of soft corals.

There’s also the recently sunk (2014) Ked Gaeow wreck, a great site to safely explore a ship underwater.

This area of the Andaman Sea is not especially deep, most dive sites bottom-out at about 30 metres.
There is tidal movement but never any dangerously strong currents and the water is always warm, in the region of 26c – 30c.
