Koh
Doc Mai is an island-sized limestone rock rising steeply out of the sea. On three
sides mini-walls drop down to the bottom, while the west side is a hard coral
reef slope. This is a lovely multi-level dive. You could easily swim around the
entire island in just one dive, but it is much better to slow down and take in
the huge variety of invertebrates, reef fish and the resident moray eels. The
east side features lots of yellow tube-corals and a few caverns and caves. On
occasion sea horses have been observed here. This divesite is often visited on
the same daytrips as King Cruiser or SharkPoint. Trip includes
transfers, lunch, divemaster, weightbelts and tanks
