A chain of granite islands in the Andaman Sea about 70 km off Khao Lak, protected as a national park that opens from mid-October to mid-May. Dives range from boulder swim-throughs to coral slopes, and the northern sites Koh Bon and Koh Tachai are known for manta rays. Most trips leave from Khao Lak, about an hour north of Phuket airport.

There's no score right now: the last reading is more than 48 hours old. It comes back with the next weather update.
For scuba diving it weighs surface waves, surface wind and rain. Epic is 85–100 (worth flying for), Good is 65–84 (worth a short hop), Fair is 50–64 (rideable), Poor is 0–49 (skip). Scuba Diving is partly tracked: forecasts don't include underwater visibility, current and water temperature, so the score tops out at 84 and is never Epic.
Fly into HKT (Phuket, Phuket International). The flight link on this page opens Aviasales with dates set to the next good spell. Any price shown comes from recent Aviasales searches, not a live quote.
Underwater visibility, current, and water temperature are not measured; the score reflects surface conditions only. Swell is modeled for the nearest open-water cell, which can be rougher than a sheltered dive site. Marine notices and operator restrictions are not scored. Always check local conditions before you go.
