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 - Nang Yuan Pinnacle offers some of Gulf of Thailand's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest April, May, June.
Nang Yuan Pinnacle, just off Koh Tao, is a staple in the Gulf. The site is a series of granite boulders, dropping to around 20 metres, offering swim-throughs and plenty of crevices. You'll often spot blue-spotted rays tucked under ledges, along with schools of yellowtail barracuda circling the main rock. It’s a good easy dive, especially suitable for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon.
