Koh Larn South (Laem Tong & South Point)
Koh Larn, the largest of the near islands, has its dive sites mostly along the south and south-west. At Laem Tong concrete rings a few metres down are overgrown with soft corals, sea fans and sea whips, and bamboo sharks rest under ledges down to about 20 m. South Point and nearby Saxophone Bay offer shallow coral gardens and bommies with small critters such as porcelain crabs, while Had Nuan on the south-east has large corals in very shallow water.
