Pattaya the Far Islands
Koh Man Wichai
Koh Man Wichai has two excellent dive areas, the first of which 'The Wall' cannot be completed in one dive. The Wall is a 7 metre high coral wall that runs down from 9 to 23 meters and is a dive in itself.
The area around the wall itself is an excellent dive site, you can start your dive from the bay and go out along the soft coral line at 18 meters, finish half of your allotted time and come back to the boat along the hard coral line at 12 meters, giving you two environments in one dive.
As each environment is different with the larger fish among the soft corals this is for me the best dive to be had around Pattaya islands.
The other dive site at Koh Man Wichai is called "The Fingers" It is a set a rocks stretching from land out to sea to a depth of 12 meters, the hard coral and fish life is very good and as there are five fingers (but no thumb). It's like diving across a large hand.
Koh Klung Bedan is another small dive site that is also quite shallow, maximum coral depth being 12 meters.
This dive site has many staghorn and table corals as well as boulder corals that have many Christmas tree worms.
