    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Khao Na Yak is a shallow, sheltered bay on the Similans' east side, perfect for newer divers or those looking for an easy second dive. The maximum depth is just 8m, a gentle slope of sand and scattered coral bommies. We often spot pipefish, cuttlefish, and small reef sharks here, tucked away in the nooks. It’s a relaxed spot, great for practicing buoyancy or just enjoying a calm swim.
