About Koh Dok Mai
Koh Dok Mai is a boat-access limestone wall site east of Phuket where the east side drops into steep vertical faces and the west side eases into a gentler slope. The site is defined by soft corals, sea fans, crevices, and caves that reward careful buoyancy and a slow look for macro life rather than fast reef cruising.
