Description: Twins is two shallow rock pinnacles sitting just off Koh Nangyuan. There are lots of rocky outcroppings to check out and also a stone archway swimthrough on the deeper pinnacle.

The shallower 'Twin' lies at a depth of around 6 - 10 metres. It's deeper neighbour sits at about 10 - 18 metres and covers a much larger area.

Dive Marine Life Highlights:
There is an enormous range of dive marine life around Twins, which means no matter how experienced you are you can enjoy this dive. Look out for blue spotted stingrays, white eyed moray eels, lots of wrasses, butterfly and angelfish plus a few triggerfish hanging around.

Inbetween the two pinnacles check out the Clarke's anemone fish colony.

Corals: There are mixed hard corals growing on the rocks plus a few scattered gorgonian fans.

Other: Swim west from the deeper 'Twin' and find the small, secret third pinnacle. Here you can sometimes see cleaner shrimps or a large Jenkin's whipray.
