  • Beginner to Advanced

A popular dive site that has the highest probability to dive with the majestic oceanic manta rays. What attracts these gentle giants to Koh Bon would be the surrounding cleaning stations and converging currents at the underwater ridge. Divers usually hang by the ridge and watch the mantas fly overhead.

Koh Bon is a must dive for any itinerary. It is highly recommended for divers to use nitrox during their dives here so as to prolong their underwater time. For experienced advanced divers, Koh Bon Pinnacle is another option too. The beautiful deep pinnacle has an abundance of soft corals coverage.

Do note that thermoclines happen frequently at Koh Bon and currents can be strong at times.
