    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Koh Waeo North is a gentle sloping reef, an easy dive for beginners or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. We’ve drifted over sandy patches where blue-spotted rays often lie camouflaged. You'll also spot plenty of anemonefish darting amongst their homes. It’s a nice spot for an extended safety stop or to practice buoyancy.
