    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Koh Yawa Bon is a straightforward dive, shallow at just 14 metres, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. You'll find plenty of reef fish weaving through the coral patches. It’s not the most dramatic site in the Similans, but it offers a gentle introduction to the local underwater scene. We’d suggest it for an easy swim-through and a chance to spot smaller creatures.
