    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Yellow Stone is a straightforward dive in the Mergui Archipelago, a good spot for intermediate divers. We often find schooling fusiliers here, sometimes so many they turn the light a bit dim. The site itself is a gentle slope to 22 metres, no real surprises but usually a steady drift. It’s a decent option if you’re looking for a relaxed dive with consistent fish action.
