Acerca de Koh Doc Mai
Koh Doc Mai es una inmersión de pared en una isla de piedra caliza con acceso en barco al este de Phuket, con cuevas en el lado este y una pendiente coralina al oeste. El sitio premia una exploración pausada de la pared, pero la corriente puede intensificarse hasta convertirla en una inmersión a la deriva y las cuevas exigen atención al entorno con techo.
