Koh Yippon

Koh Yippon, tucked away in the northern reaches of Angthong Marine Park, offers a reliable, sheltered dive. It’s a site we often head to when conditions elsewhere are a bit choppy, and it rarely disappoints for a relaxed potter. The main draw is a collection of soft corals, big barrel sponges, and anemones in the shallows, making it a good spot for snorkelers too. Deeper down, past the 10-meter mark, we’ve often found large snappers hanging out, plus the occasional blue-spotted stingray cruising the sand. Schools of fusiliers and yellow-tailed barracuda can sometimes be so thick they almost block the light, which is always a treat. Maximum depth here is about 18 meters, so it’s a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a longer bottom time without pushing the limits.
