Boat access from the Koh Lipe and Koh Adang side; sand, small coral patches, and dense macro life make this a patient photographer's site.
About Waterfall
Waterfall is a Koh Lipe macro dive on a sandy, muck-style bottom with scattered coral patches and a strong small-life focus. The site is popular with photographers because the sand and low-relief pockets hold seahorses, nudibranchs, ghostpipefish, crabs, and other tiny subjects. It is a relaxed guided boat dive rather than a hard-current reef, best for patient divers who like hunting for details.

Scuba Diving
A relaxed macro scuba dive over sand and small coral patches, with the best finds usually tucked into low-relief edges rather than the open sand.
Freediving
Not a meaningful freedive site; the best subjects sit at scuba depth.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the main use case; the interesting macro life sits too deep for a useful snorkel run.
