About Laem Chua
Laem Chua is a rocky headland where large boulders have created an interesting underwater terrain of channels, overhangs, and sandy patches. The reef supports a variety of marine life including stingrays, moray eels, and nudibranchs. It offers more depth and interest than the typical Phangan snorkeling site.
