Why dive here
With 177+ marine species recorded in the area - including barracuda, giant moray eels, whale sharks, clownfish and pufferfish - Koh Yang East offers some of Koh Lanta & Phi Phi's richest diving.
Koh Yang East is a gentle introduction to diving in the Lanta and Phi Phi area. At a mellow 17 metres, it’s a perfect spot for newer divers to get comfortable without too much fuss. We've often found small barracuda schooling here, along with the usual cast of damselfish and parrotfish nibbling at the coral. It’s a pretty straightforward dive, good for getting your buoyancy dialled in or just enjoying a relaxed float. Definitely one to consider for a chilled-out afternoon plunge.
