Koh Klung Badan
A small island near Koh Man Wichai that offers shelter from strong currents and choppy seas. The front bay reef reaches about 16 m and is easy for most divers, while a separate deep reef on the south side runs from 14 to 22 m and suits advanced or nitrox divers. Look for nudibranchs, shrimp and pipefish among brain corals, blue-spotted stingrays and bamboo sharks on the bottom, and barracuda and trevally in the blue.
