Haad Yuan

Dive Location:  The headland at the north end of Haad Rin.
Depth: Average 6m / Maximum 12m

Primarily used as a diver-training site, this is in fact quite an acceptable dive around a wide, shallow undulating reef. It is broken by many large domed rocks that lie in forests of black sea whips. Many of the rocks are, in addition, highlighted by small trees of soft coral. This makes a suitable area for snorkellers, who will also enjoy its array of colourful reef-fish and diverse invertebrates, including featherstars, nudibranchs and several species of cowrie shells.

The usual reef-fish, like parrotfish and wrasse, are present but in small numbers. Nurse sharks and blue-spotted ribbontail stingrays are sometimes seen away from the reef. For those trained in cave diving, is a narrow dog-legged cave, 15m long.
