There are Sea fans, colorful soft corals, school of barracuda, bat fish & groups of cattle fish. At the southern tip you also have the opportunity to see manta rays.
Shark Point and Koh Dok Mai
Koh Dok Mai offers a very impressive wall dive and shark point is named because it is a favorite sleeping spot for leopard sharks, sting rays, and moray eels. If you are lucky you might see whale sharks are sighted in this area.
