Never heard of it, can you be a bit more specific?

The closest place south that you can dive is Koh Talu in Bangsaphan (2 hours) although some have mentioned an island off the coast of Prachuab town with a decent reef.

Klong Wan is a village just south of Prachuahkirikhan city.
Go through the main intersection heading South and after a few km you'll see a turn on the left to Klong Wan - before you reach the right-hand turn-off to Dan Sinkhorn.

There is a pier at Klong Wan with boats to take people to the Ko Jan island area, where I believe it's ok for snorkelling.

I've not been there, though, so have no idea how good it is.

There were certainly no trips to there by sea.

A year or so ago there was an organised day trip by minibus from HH and then onto a small cabin cruiser to Ko Jan - but I don't think they're doing it any more.
