Koh Bida Islands

The Bida islands are known locally as ‘the place to see Leopard sharks’ and boast an abundance of marine life. A huge variety of species can be seen here, including the rare and beautiful seahorse and ghost pipefish. At very shallow depths it is not uncommon to come across schools of baby black tip reef sharks and the odd banded sea snake. The Bida islands range from 3m to 25m making it an ideal site for certified divers and students alike. Other interesting and exciting things these islands have to offer are fantastic wall dives and swim thrus. Large underwater pinnacles lie between the islands of Bida Nok and Bida Nai and this is where most often the leopard sharks are seen, usually hanging out on the sandy bottom. The leopard shark is perhaps the most docile of all sharks and can come within extremely close distances of divers - an unforgettable experience.
