Koh Phangan Dive Sites
Information
Koh
Phangan stretches 19 kilometres from north to south and 12 kilometres
from west to east. Phangan is situated south of Koh Tao and North
of Samui making
it an ideal central location with easy access to all the prime dive
sites such as Sail Rock and Anthong national Marine Park.
The island is mainly mountainous jungle surrounded by beautiful,
white sandy beaches and turquoise waters, with several beautiful
coral reefs.
Unlike neighbouring Koh Tao and Koh Samui, Koh Phangan has avoided
the higher volumes of tourists and the development they bring. As
a result most of the island is reserved as National Parkland.
Although
Phangan now has a network of developed roads and more upmarket resorts,
the island has managed to retain it's natural beauty.
In addition to diving and snorkelling, there are many activities
to be found; kayaking, jungle trekking, horse riding, kite surfing
and of course for the revellers on the south of the island, the
"full moon, blackmoon, half moon and any kind of moon"
parties.
