You have to go on a liveaboard boat and it takes about 9 hours or more in order to reach here.

Once underwater, you will be amazed by the underwater visibilty and the rich marine lifes. Pictures speak a thousand words.

Don't you feel like jumping in?
4 more images

The water is so inviting that I couldn't help but to jump & stay in!

The water is very cooling eventhough the sun is scorching hot above your head... There are lots of fishes accompanying you while you swim and they are very friendly indeed! You can never miss the school of silver fishes around you..

I can never get enough swimming here..

Small beach
1 more image

The beach is really very small.. It's only about 200m long... But most of the people come here to snorkel as there are lots of colourful fishes...

You can just lie on the beach and there are not many people here... Very peaceful and no screaming children for sure...
