The reef starts shallow around 5 metres and extends down to 26 – 28 metres and it is an easy site is suitable and rewarding to divers of all levels.

The highlight of this site is a spectacular large rock named “Hin Muan Deaw” which translates to “Whole Roll (of film) Rock, it also be named “All Dive Rock” given the size and amount of marine live situated on the rock. The rock starts at 20 metres and the panicle is at around 12 metres and contains all your needs for a great dive.
