 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
