About this dive site
This dive site, Koh Doc Mai (Flower Island), is a truly unique location situated in the Phuket area. It’s notable as the only wall dive in this region and is home to an array of fascinating creatures. The eastern wall descends to approximately 22 meters, frequently hosting bamboo sharks. Numerous cracks, caves, and overhangs provide shelter for small and unusual marine life, including seahorses, ghost pipefish, frogfish, and diverse species of nudibranchs clinging to the rock face. A rich variety of coral species thrives throughout the site, attracting a wide range of fish. Occasionally, larger creatures like whale sharks are spotted as they pass through these waters.
