A small outcrop to the south is called Koh Bida Nok. A popular spot for diving.
Joe and Mercia went down first and then Joe took Robert down. The dive is at about 12 meters and there is lots to see. The book talks of Leopard Sharks and they were seen on both dives. Rob said it was about 1,5m long and graceful to watch swimming past him.
They saw lots of big schools of fish and a huge Lion fish.
At one point Rob decided to do a breast stroke movement and as his hand came back it touched a
sea-urchin, the spines went into his hand! Thankfully only a few mm deep and its not painful. He has to just wait for them to fall out, they cannot be pulled out.
Rob taking Joe and Mercia for their dive on Koh Bida Nok. They are experienced divers and were very pleased with this spot as an easy dive with lots to see. (Not much coral) Water temp is 31.5C, they are wearing thin 'stinger' suits. These keep you warm, even though the water temp is so high, you can get cold after a few dives. The suit also protects you against the jelly fish bites.
