The highlight of diving here is a series of caves, or caverns on the largest of the islands, Koh Ha Yai. The emerald light filtering through the cave entrance at sunrise is quite magical. The caves are safe to enter, even without a light, as the entrances to the first caves are large. You can surface inside the caves and see stalactites hanging down from the ceiling above.
If you enjoy swim-throughs then try the one on the wall slightly to the right of the main (right-hand) entrance. Dive through the tiny entrance, then vertically downwards. Make a sharp left, and squeeze out the exit point. Hey presto, you're back in the main cave chamber!
Please beware that cave diving requires special training beyond the scope of recreational diving. Penetration into the passageway at the rear of the main chamber is dangerous and is not recommended. |
