Site Description: Koh Bida Nog the larger of the two Bida islands is one of the most popular dive sites, for good reason. One side of the island has a shallow bay with colourful coral gardens, you can see Banded sea crates and white morays here. A spectacular drop off on the other side provides an excellent location for many hard corals. You can also find caverns and overhangs that house Bearded scorpionfish and lionfish. (map).
