About the Dive Sites
Koh Haa Islands are part of the Koh Mu National Park and can be visited from mid-October to early May, depending on current weather conditions. This area is excellent for free diving and suits both beginners and advanced divers. These dive sites are one of the highlights of southern dive safaris. If you don’t have time for a liveaboard trip, this is your best chance.
Koh Haa Dive Sites
The Koh Haa island group consists of six small uninhabited limestone islands. They are located south of Phi Phi Islands, close to each other in one area. Due to their remote location, relatively few divers visit them.
Beginner divers can explore the crystal-clear waters of the lagoon, while advanced divers can visit the famous Cathedral or the Chimney dive sites. The marine life is diverse, and you may encounter turtles, stingrays, and with a bit of luck, leopard sharks or reef sharks. Large pelagic fish occasionally make appearances, and the luckiest divers might spot whale sharks. The unique underwater formations and clear visibility will mesmerize everyone.
Anemone Reef
Anemone Reef, another rarely visited dive site. It is an underwater limestone rock located near Shark Point and the King Cruiser wreck. The King Cruiser passenger ferry struck this rock before sinking, and there were no casualties as everyone was rescued.
The top of the rock is at a depth of 5 meters, so only the pinnacle’s top is visible from the surface. It is named after the sea anemones that blanket it, housing numerous clownfish and shrimp. A rope leads down to it, which boats usually tie to. The seabed is flat at 25 meters, adorned with smaller rocks, fan corals, and barrel sponges.
Anemone reef is also famous for its resident seahorses, pipefish, and bamboo sharks, which rest in the cracks of the rocks.
Additionally, massive schools of barracudas, snappers, rabbit fish hangs around it. The luckiest divers might find leopard sharks resting on the seabed or even a whale shark in the blue.
Due to occasional strong currents and greater depths, this dive site is recommended for advanced divers and we only dive here when the Sea is not too rough.
