This small, jungle topped island is located
on the way to Shark Point from Phuket and is considered one
of the best wall dives in the area. Doc Mai is a huge limestone
rock that rises steeply out of the sea.
On three sides the sheer walls occupied with
a different creature in every nook and cranny drop straight
down to the sea floor. The west side is a gently sloping hard
coral reef with an abundance of colorful sea life decorating
its underwater cliffs. This dive is noted for its variety
of reef fish and an opportunity to view some of the resident
Moray Eels. The east-side of the island is a virtual garden
of yellow tube corals and you can explore some of the small
caves along the base of the wall.
This is a fairly short dive as you can easily
swim around the entire island, and it is included on many
on day-trips to Shark Point and Amemone Reef.
