Koh Dok Mai

"Flower Island" is a small limestone islet rising vertically out of the sea. This dive site is mainly a wall dive to 30 metres, with a hard coral Staghorn Reef sloping to the west. On the east side of the island are a series of caverns and caves. Great for practicing penetration techniques, and maybe search and recovery!

Koh Dok Mai is famed for its tiny resident Yellow Seahorses. Try spotting them hidden amongst the lacy Gorgonian Sea Fans. They are there somewhere...honest! There's also a huge variety of invertebrates here, such as lobster, crabs, Zigzag Clams, Pencil Urchins, oysters, Squid, and White-eyed Moray Eels.
