Garang Heng is another dive site that is only visited by Phi Phi day trip dive boats, it is a little too far for Phuket dive boats to reach. It lies on it's own 2km east of Phi Phi Ley and is a completey submerged reef starting at 6m below the surface and going down as deep as 24m. It is an easy dive site with mild currents although visibility is often only average.
This is another dive site where Leopard sharks are commonly seen.
The reef is a mixture of hard and soft corals with some barrel sponges, and lots of sea fans and anemones. Large schools of yellowtail barracuda are resident here.
Lionfish and scorpionfish are numerous as are dog faced pufferfish, moorish idols, bannerfish and many other reef fish. Banded sea snakes are also sometimes seen here.
