Koh Haa Neua

Also known as: Koh Haa 1 · Koh Haa One · Koh Haa Neung · Ko Haa Nua · Ko Ha Nua · Koh Haa Chimney

The Chimney is a rock passage of roughly 13 m: divers enter low down at around 14 to 18 m and rise through it, or the other way round, to exits at about 8 and 5 m, with a side tunnel leading into a domed chamber called the fish bowl that is full of sweepers. Some parts are narrow, so good buoyancy control is expected. Below the exit lies a garden of white and lilac soft corals at about 20 to 22 m. The north wall drops steeply and is covered in sea fans, carnation corals and soft corals, while the east side ends in a long finger-shaped ridge where cobia, guitar sharks, blacktip reef sharks and stingrays are sometimes seen. Seahorses, ghost pipefish, nudibranchs and harlequin shrimp make the island popular with macro photographers.
