Diving Sites in Mergui Archipelago
Western Rocky
A small barren island, perhaps 60m wide, it is home to hundreds of painted spiny lobsters and some playful
nurse sharks. Cuttlefishes and big reef squid are common and giant fusiliers sweep over the reef,
made up of large flower corals and yellow featherstars. There is a tunnel leads right through the island.
