Manta ridge with strong current and big pelagic life.

About Koh Bon, West Ridge
A classic Koh Bon West Ridge dive with a long limestone shoulder, healthy hard and soft coral, and a current-dependent drop point that can turn the site into a flowing drift. The ridge is famous for manta-cleaning-station behavior and big-pelagic passes, with clear water, dense reef fish, and enough structure to reward slow, careful ridge work.
