Sea Fan City is a deep channel dive for advanced divers.
Sea Fan City is a deep Andaman channel dive built around tall gorgonian sea fans and boulder structure. The draw is a focused, current-swept profile with strong soft-coral character, passing pelagic life, and a photography-friendly look that rewards stable buoyancy. It suits confident divers who want a short, purposeful dive rather than a long reef cruise.
