    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Ko Yawabon, in the Similan Islands, gives us a mellow dive, perfect for newer divers or those who just want to take it easy. We typically drift along the sloping reef, dotted with bommies, keeping an eye out for leopard sharks resting on the sand. The currents here are usually gentle, making it a good spot for photography, too.
