Koh Haa Lek

別名： Koh Haa 6 · Koh Haa Six · Koh Daeng

Koh Haa Lek looks like a small rock at the surface but spreads underwater into walls, slopes and coral gardens around a broad base. The connecting ridge to Koh Haa Yai is covered in lush coral and large barrel sponges, and ghost pipefish hide along it. Divers can drop in on the western side and, with a favourable current, ride along the wall to the east or follow the ridge across to Koh Haa Yai, where blacktip reef sharks cruise in the shallows. Its rocks host nudibranchs, cleaner shrimp, mantis shrimp and schools of moorish idols grazing on algae. The outer north side faces open water, where larger rays, guitar sharks and whale sharks pass by.
