About this dive site

The Bida’s, comprising Koh Bida Nok, Koh Bida Nai, and Hin Bida, offer a captivating diving experience. Located in the Gulf of Thailand, these islands are renowned for their abundant marine life and unique geological features. The area is particularly appealing due to its high fish density; it's not uncommon to be surrounded by fish just two meters from the reef wall! Predatory fish actively hunt here, adding an element of excitement to the dives. Koh Bida Nok provides a sheltered bay with a seabed ranging from 7 to 8 meters deep – making it suitable for introductory dives and courses. Koh Bida Nai is known for its population of large blacktip reef sharks, alongside leopard sharks, which are frequently observed during dives, along with stingrays. Hin Bida, a small rocky outcrop near the other islands, presents an interesting dive, often partially submerged at high tide. Zebra sharks are commonly found here. The combination of diverse habitats and abundant wildlife makes The Bida’s a rewarding destination for divers of varying experience levels.
