Why dive here
With 158+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, blue-spotted stingrays, mobula rays (devil rays), whale sharks and pufferfish - Koh Nang Yuan offers some of Gulf of Thailand's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Koh Nang Yuan, just a stone's throw from Koh Tao, is a good spot for a relaxed dive. The main draw for us is the collection of smaller sites around the island, like Green Rock with its interesting boulder formations and swim-throughs that start shallow and drop to around 30 metres. You'll find plenty of reef fish flitting about, especially in the shallower sections. It's a busy place, popular with snorkelers too, but for easy diving and an afternoon exploring some gentle coral and sandy patches, it fits the bill nicely. This area is ideal for newer divers or those looking for a laid-back afternoon underwater without strong currents.
