Shallow Krabi shore dive with rocky reef and swim-throughs
Shallow Krabi shore dive with rocky reef and swim-throughs
Koh Kwang is a shallow Krabi shore dive in the Klong Muang area, known for a compact rocky reef with walls, small caves, and short swim-throughs. Soft and hard coral patches hold steady reef life, with plenty of small fish and macro subjects. It is best planned for calmer dry-season days, because current can make the site feel more technical than the easy beach setting suggests.
