Diving in Thailand – Palong Wall and Malong

When diving in Thailand there are a number of exciting dive sites and two of them are called Palong wall and Malong. Both sites have similar topography, with a gentle sloping fringing reef with occasional rocky outcrops. Coral coverage here is high and due to unimpeded currents there is also a high level of colorful soft corals and giant gorgonian seafans. Not to worry too much about the currents here since if the sites run from north to south or vice versa depending which ever way the current is heading.

What's to see?
Phi Phi has suddenly become a haven for the illusive frogfish, seahorse and ornate ghostpipefish, which are rarely seen when diving in Thailand. Over the last few years there has been an increase in sightings of these usually very shy creatures and the good news is, if they are left alone they will stay in the same place for a long time, making it very easy for us to find.

Leopard sharks and Black Tip Reef sharks are also common sightings at these sites. Large groups of twin spot and yellow five lined snappers, butterflyfish, and angelfish. Turtles are almost a guarantee.
