Koh Bon, around 20km north of the Similan Islands, differs from the others as it's formed from limestone instead of granite.It's blackish with jagged, pointy edges.The West Ridge is a thin, elongated cape on the west side,famous for the manta rays that ride the complex mix of currents to come and feed or be cleaned. There is a 60% to 80% chance of seeing them.If you're lucky, you can spend time watching them up close as they're cleaned.Other highlights are fusiliers and migratory fish heading towards them.

At over 4m, the manta rays here are huge, and bigger than those in Japan. During high season,mantas can be seen dancing energetically together or meeting whale sharks,all on one dive.This is one of the main sites for dive cruises. When bigger species appear, please remember the three principles: don't chase, don't touch and don't panic.
