wall itself is covered by thousands of coral
colonies.

life is abundant, of course, with barracudas, sea turtles, groupers
and huge shoals of reef fish.

bottom with leopard sharks. At the overhang one can find lionfish,
puffers, sea turtles and squids.
Overhang Spot
south of Phi Phi Lee features a big cave, divable for 50 meters
without having to use lights. But don't venture any further! It is
not easy to find out in the dark.

Corner is the no. one spot for lovers of this stout animal.
Canyon Rock is situated off Loh Samah Bay on
Phi Phi Lae. It takes about 45 minutes to swim around the outcrop.
The canyon southeast of the rock is a beautiful place, full of neat
corals and colorful fish. Big white, red and orange saefans roll
gently in the currents. featherstars and pearl oysters prey upon
plankton. Lionfish hover and in a small cave one finds the big
kingfish, which often are being mistaken for sharks by inexperienced
divers.

big room with side-grottos. Coral boulders form interesting swim
throughs. This is the place for big game, groupers, sharks, rays
and, once in a while, whalesharks.
Caran Hang, a
submerged reef 2km off Phi Phi Lae's east coast. Here we find a
metropolis of marine life and like sharkpoint, this is a perfect
