The main dive sites are Hin Luk Bat, Hin Sam Sao, Hin Raap and Koh Rang. Mu Koh Chang Marine National Park has a large selection of healthy fringing reefs as well as an interesting wreck and several snorkelling sites. In general, visibility averages between 5 and 10m, although it can occasionally be in excess of 20m. Marine life tends to be less prolific than elsewhere, and dynamite fishing in restricted areas has taken its toll.
