Snorkel and Scuba diving from here

Koh Pha-Ngan has many perfect diving spots for both beginners and trained divers with colorful fish but also smooth sandy bottoms for painless exploration of the environment. For the trained diver, the West Coast of Koh Pha-Ngan offers the best diving with some fine hard coral reefs at depths up to about 20 meters e.g. Mae Haad, Koh Ma. There are also available some further sites such as Koh Wao Yai (in the north of Angthong National Park or the famous Hin Bai (Sail Rock). At Sail Rock, the dives are deeper with a great range of marine life, spectacular underwater scenery and a chance to meet bigger fish such as Manta ray, whale shark. Snorkeling sites can be found around the island but the most popular one is Koh Maa by Haad Mae Haad on the west coast.

Also available is the KOH MA boat trip. Ask for availability at the reception at $$ (TBC)

• Haad Thian : Accessible only by boat, has a quite beach but because of the rocks on the shoreline the swimming isn't so good. There is also a restaurant and some bungalows.

• Haad Rin : World famous for its monthly full moon beach party, has many bungalows and restaurants and is good for shopping and enjoying the lively night life in the many bars along the beach. Haad Rin is the busiest and most crowded town on Koh Pha-ngan.
