Anemone Reef
Phuket · Thailand
A shallow pinnacle inside Phi Phi Marine Park carpeted in magnificent sea anemones hosting at least 4 species of anemonefish. Hard coral heads begin at 5 m and give way to sloping rubble where pipefish and flatworms hide. The site suits divers building confidence in mild current.
