    Koh Yak offers a straightforward dive, popular with training groups and those getting comfortable in the water. We usually find plenty of anemonefish and juvenile reef fish flitting among the scattered coral bommies. The maximum depth is around 12 meters, making it a good spot for a relaxed second dive or for divers new to the area. Currents here are generally mild.
