Eight-banded butterflyfish, there are called eight-line butterflies
Because lazy and busy diaries are rarely written seriously, today seems to be more idle, just write more words. Chumphon is not famous, and few people in China know Chumphon. Therefore, today I will use more ink to write the diving strategy of Chumphon.
A little bit of panda sea hare, has not yet found the specific scientific name
Chumphon? A province in Thailand, the area is equivalent to a county in China, and the status is equivalent to a province in China. Chumphon is in the south-central part of Thailand, thailand's narrowest location, and myanmar borders.
Blue-striped salmon
To the east of Chumphon is the Gulf of Thailand, formerly known as the Gulf of Siam, and is a rare diving mecca in Thailand.
Coffee clown
There are still quite a few places to dive in Chumphon, that is, there is not much flow of people, if 1 or 2 people go, the cost of diving will be relatively high.
Chumphon is famous for its dive sites Koh Ngam Noi, Koh Ngam Yai, Hin Lak Ngam, Hin Pae, all of which are small islands or rocks that only emerge from the sea, and are excellent dive sites near this island.
Like a brown plum seabream
There are also very good dive sites, such as the data shown in the Chumphon Pinnacle, there will be a chance to see the pink clownfish, and other places are red clowns, not as good as here.
CORAL ROCK GROUPER can be translated as coral grouper
Hin Lak Ngam This is Chumphon's second outcrop rock, and the dive site that surrounds the rock is located at the northernmost tip, at one of the four most popular dive sites in Chumphon. This dive site has a variety of soft and hard corals, such as sharp-billed fish, clams, parrotfish, anemone fish, seahorses, oysters...
Located in the northern part of Koh Ngam Yai Island, Hin Pae Rock is 6 - 23 meters deep and is rich in black coral, sea anemones, sea whips, giant clams, butterflyfish, barracuda, stingrays, turtles and, if you're lucky, whale sharks.
Fire point, there is called single spotted snapper
Koh Ngam Noi and Koh Ngam Yai are close to each other, and the dive plans for these two dive sites depend on the wind direction of the day. There is a narrow "swimming passage" with a variety of soft and hard corals. A large number of fish are found on the stone walls and in small caves. When the currents come, the flow of fish is more pronounced. This area is rich in soft corals. Stingrays, scorpionfish, blue-ringed angels, turtles, anemones, sea urchins, sea snakes, barracuda, snappers, yellowtails, etc. can be found here. The depth of this area is about 5 - 15 meters, and the visibility is often about 20 meters.

Koh Rarn Ped Island and Koh Rarn Gai Island, this dive site is a limestone rock peak that extends 20 meters below the sea and there are many species of fish such as butterfly fish, female fish, turtles, frog fish, yellow-tailed barracuda, parrot fish and so on. Occasionally whale sharks will also be spotted. There is also a beautiful underwater cave, the walls of the cave and the bottom of the cave are covered with sea anemones, sea whips, sponges and black corals. The depth near Koh Rarn Ped Island is about 20 meters and the visibility is about 5-15 meters, and the depth near Koh Rarn Gai Island is about 5-15 meters, and the visibility is 5 to 10 meters.

Blue Ribbon mud urn
How to get to Chumphon? Plane to Bangkok and then transfer to Chumphon on it, of course there are buses and trains arriving, not recommended.
It is also possible to take the shuttle bus to Chumphon after playing Phuket, many classes a day, the traffic is very convenient, it is a little slow.
Yellowfin round trevally

Golden-spotted sheepfish, or golden-spotted paracynch
Chumphon is a great place to spend a quiet holiday, but not famous, not crowded and cheap to consume. But the bad thing is that there are not many dive shops, no more than three, and the more famous is the Cabana Diving Resort with guaranteed diving.
