Phuket Dive Guide : Phi Phi Leh - Palong bay
About the location and site
Palong Bay lies only 400 metres north of Maya Corner. It is similar with massive limestone boulders breaking the surface and descending to 18m. The steep wall drops to a sandy seabed that is littered with smaller rocks. Navigating the site is usually done along the shallower depths of the wall. Palong Bay has a good variety of soft corals. Feather stars adorn sea fans that reach out from the many rocks. Frequent sightings of blacktip sharks and leopard sharks are recorded here. Growing up to 1.5 metres, these sharks are incredibly shy, and for those of you that are a little bit concerned about diving with sharks there is no need to worry. Dolphins have also been spotted in this bay.
